I think I’ve finally relinquished Holts morning nap. I know I’ve said this several times before. However, we are on day three with no nap. So I guess our morning outings can start even earlier now! This is good, bad, and sad. Good that we can get up and go and not wait for Holt to wake up midmorning. Bad, because one nap for most toddlers would mean a longer afternoon nap, oh, but not for my little Holt. I usually just get an hour or so at best. However, my biggest concern is when will I shower? And a little sad because this is my only one on one time with Pierce and he relishes in having mommy all to himself during this time.
Pierce has always been an incredible napper. Even up to a month ago at 3 ½ he would sleep at good two hours most days. But every good thing has to come to an end and it is. However, mommy is really having a hard time letting this go as it is her only maybe hour of peace and quiet each day. After getting really frustrated over being scared of the rain the other day then waking his brother up after his only 45 minute nap for the day, I decide the next day that I would turn his nap time over to quiet time. I was so proud of myself when I found him asleep after of 10 minutes of reading books. I was priding myself on look what happens when you give up a little control, but then I remembered I gave him Benedryl for his hives and it was the medicine not mommy’s doing that took him off to la la land.

I feel your pain, with 3 out of 4 up all day. Keep trying quiet time (without the benadryl ;)) And you may have to start showering at night :)
I feel your pain too, at least we are all in this together :) You can do what I do and just not shower...jk ;)
You are such a good mommy, with great ideas, benedryl or not! I will be calling you soon to ask how in the world you do it with two...and get any sleep? That is my new fear...
