(September 20th)

We are at another turning point in Jameson’s life. Do I give him a nap or not? If I can get him to take a nap (not an easy feat), then he doesn’t go to bed till 10 pm or 11 pm or sometimes later. He sits in his bed and plays with anything in his room. Usually, the only way to get him to take a nap is if he falls asleep in the car.

If he doesn’t take a nap during the day, then by 5 pm he looks like this…

Mr. Jameson

Then he sleeps for a little bit, and I try to wake him up which causes a cranky child till bed time. But then, he doesn’t go to sleep. So, he still needs a nap, but then bedtime is a disaster. If I can keep him awake all day, he goes right to bed. I’m really not liking this. I still need him to take a nap. I like my quiet time. So far, it’s looking like the nap needs to disappear and bed time needs to be bumped up earlier. We’ll see how that goes.
