Randoms

The Critter seems to be better from her number illnesses of the last few weeks. She has a little rash left on her face, but it is much much better than it was. She doesn't seem bothered by it, so whew. I think we all survived. Of note this week on the Critter front is I think she is dropping her second nap. I wish she would have dropped her morning nap instead (wouldn't that make more sense??) but it is what it is. I purposely kept her up yesterday in the afternoon, and she did great. She didn't get overly fussy, and she went down so well for nighttime sleep, and slept like a rock all night. I'm not sure if every day will go as smoothly, but she seems ready to lose two naps. After we are sure this is happening, I will start trying to push her morning nap later and later. That might be the hard part, she is really ready to take her morning nap. Any suggestions, from ye olde wise interwebbies? On the me front, I am fully under the evil depot loopyron's spell. My never-ending period and her little dog Spot seem to finally have left. Gosh, I went through more panty liners than I could have ever thought. But now its just hot flashes. Lots of hot flashes. Started getting the in-the-daytime ones this week. I take the second shot in 10 days, and that will just make it all worse. Joy. I also got the results from my thyroid u/s back, and while there are no nodules, my thyroid is enlarged and hypervascular. So yeah, I got thyroid issues. I've been taking the synthroid for a little over a week, I don't notice much change from it. Ok gotta run. Critter is up. Have a good weekend!! WTF BLogger??? why is this looking like one long run-on paragraph?? Ugh. Sorry for that, I can't seem to change it.

    You know, Hen's been doing a morning nap only for quite a while now, and he does fine in the evening, so I decided not to push him later even though it seemed like an afternoon nap would make more sense. (actually, to be truthful, I tried desperately to get him to nap later, and he just didn't want to!) I just make sure he gets a significant snack before naptime, and then lunch is immediately upon waking.
    6-7am wake up
    11am nap
    12:30-1:30 wake up
    7pm bedtime

    Blogspot is an idiot lately.
    From a seriously sleep challenged home, after the second nap went away, the first and only nap of the day is around 11-12. This happened around 14-15 mo, and now he is 20 mo. If the little mister wakes up too soon, say 6ish, he is ready to go down at 10h30. Sometimes he sleeps 2-3 hours, thing I wished he did at night this time last year. If Critter is sleeping just fine, she will know what to do. She will be able to stay awake by herself, and you won't have to do much. Just monitor the situation and prepare to be amazed. :-)

    We dropped second nap three months ago... They have a morning 'rest' which is twenty to thirty minutes watching a baby Einstein and then nap at noonish... Awake at 5:45 to 6:15, rest at 9, nap 2-3 hours midday and down at 7 sharp. Most nights they conk out immediately but some nights they 'talk' for 15-30 minutes but never cry.,.

    Hope that helps!

    George has the exact same schedule as Henry. It works a charm. And you actually get some time during the afternoon to do stuff without having to worry about napping. And you know, if it works, don't fix it. Which I observe to the letter. :-)
