At least two months ago, Tucker was resisting two naps a day and Austin declared to Helen: "Tucker's done with his morning nap." Helen, like a wise grandmother said that she would be surprised if that was the case. Of course, she was right. After about three days he was back to needing a morning nap.
So, fast forward till now. Tucker has been babbling in his crib in the afternoons, not able to take a second nap (while I'm still recovering from a sinus infection and desperately want MY afternoon nap). So, all-knowing Mom and Dad reached the conclusion that Morning Nap Is Now Finished. Yesterday, we couldn't implement our new routine because of a doctor's appointment* so today is the first day of No Morning Nap.
How's it going? Well, Tucker woke up tired and just wanted to be held. He whined. He practically begged to go back to sleep.
So... Day 1 of No Morning Nap: Tucker was back in bed, taking a nap by 7:50 am.
You win some, you lose some, and then you're a parent.
*Our little boy was almost 26 lbs and over 33 inches at the doctor's! 95th percentile in height and 70th in weight... I guess he IS trying to be a big boy like his daddy....
