This weekend we decided to end Joseph's naps. He has been great at napping for the past 4 years, but lately he has either not been falling asleep, or if he does, he stays awake in his room till 9 or 10 at night and then wakes up at 6:30 am. On Saturday I decided to see how he would do without a nap.
He did great. We were at a pumpkin carving party at my in-laws, and so he got to bed a bit late, 8:30. He literally fell asleep the moment I put him down on this bed. It was so funny. He was out and I didn't hear a word from him until just barely before 8am the next day. So on Sunday we skipped the nap again, and guess what? He did great. We put him to bed around 8pm last night and he woke up about 7:30pm. Almost 12 hours of sleep.
So you can imagine my surprise when I went to lay Genevieve down for her nap at 12:30 this afternoon and Joey came up to me with his eyes half closed asking if he could take a nap too. I asked him several times if he was sure he wanted to nap, The two previous days he was so excited to not nap. He insisted he was tired, so of course I let him nap. Now they are both asleep upstairs.
Most kids fight naps, but apparently Joey loves them. My guess is we are just going to have naps on certain days, but still, what a goofy kid.
Speaking of naps.....time for this mama to rest :).
