"No more night night"


Ellie has been not so easy as she was about taking her nap after we took the paci away. She still will crash almost every day. It just takes a lot longer for her to fall asleep. It seems like I never know how I will find her at the end of nap time. She is really into taking off some of her clothes and has even taught Anna how to do it. Anna always takes off her pajama bottoms in the morning. She loves to leave us a "wet" surprise which is not so fun!

Oh, Holly! I can't imagine! I have heard that 2 1/2 is the magic age when they start to fight taking a nap... thankfully, Abby is still sleeping a good 2-3 hours each afternoon and LOVES getting in her big girl bed! She'll come to me and say "time for nap, mommy, i go night night" and off we go! the clothes thing baffles me!!!! abby loves to get herself undressed, but wants to redress just as quickly! i can't imagine the wet surprises with anna... is she able to get her diaper off completely as well?!

Yea, sounds like a ton of fun! Is Ellie successfully passy free now? Sometimes it takes Cana a little longer to fall asleep too, but she still takes a good nap...most of the time. I can't wait for spring so we can play outside. On the days where Cana can run and play she has a great amount of exercise which leads to a great nap. Which is great for Kayil...because she can nap too, and it is great for me, because I can have some mommy time.

I love the look of despair/confusion on Ellie's face, paired with the messy hair and no shirt! Funny story, hope she finds a new groove and naps well for you again!

Oh, Holly! Bad naps days are no fun...I so depend on that time to get things accomplished or just rest myself! That is so funny that Ellie is undressing herself and I can't believe that Anna is doing it too! Our Anna has thankfully not discovered this trick! Hey--I just booked my first flight with both kids all by myself. I'm sure that I'll be chanting "Holly did it..Holly did it..." throughout the airport!:)

Oh man! Micah started taking his pants and his diaper off before he fell asleep for his nap. So I would find him after his nap naked. I had heard of nightmares of kids taking off dirty diapers and making an absolute mess. Thank the Lord that never happened! Shouldn't we get paid for this?!?
