Mr. One Nap

That's right. My baby is no longer the baby who takes 2 naps a day. He is on to one. Not by his choice, by ours. We have been doing a lot of experimenting around here to see if we can get him to sleep a little later than 4am. And this one nap thing has helped!

5:30 AM EVERYONE! Yes, you might say this is early, but NOT in our house!

So, here is the new schedule. Although it has been a VERY HARD WEEK, things are moving in the right direction. Slowly, but they are. Awake 5:30am. GO GO GO GO till 11am. Nap. GO GO GO GO till 7pm, then bedtime. We are pushing the nap a little later each day, so that eventually he will take an afternoon nap, go to bed by 7 or 8 and GASP maybe sleep till 6ISH. (I am up by 6am anyways, so this would be perfect.)

Since we are not taking any trips anytime soon, we thought this is the time. To be honest, we need to stay put for a while, as Gavin does best when he is on his schedule...and traveling is hard in general. I HATE not being able to see my family more often, but it is getting harder and harder. Not to mention its quite expensive, and we are living on a little more than one income. So, we are here, AND WE LOVE VISITORS!!! (And Delta has some good deals now, hint-hint!)

Gavin is a very big creature of habit. He LOVES his routines and schedules. So do I. This is an adjustment for all of us but it seems to be going in the right direction. Although, this makes him even more a toddler...only toddlers nap once a day! Goodbye 2 naps!
