Nap Matrix Part Deux

We're still caught in the nap matrix.  But it has gotten better.  Since we've been taking Littlest to bed with us he's been sleeping a lot better at night.  He will usually sleep from about 9PM-7:30AM, sometimes he wakes to nurse, sometimes not.    But I'm okay with that, it's a solid bedtime and wake time.

The bigger issue is the naptime, or lack thereof.  Some days he naps, some days not, some naps are 15 minutes some are over 2 hours.  I never know what to expect.  It seems the more I do with him the less likely he is to sleep.  On the days we're out running errands and playing outside I can forget about a nap-unless we have a long drive in the car.  But on the days when we hang out at home or stay inside a nap is inevitable.  Hmmm.

I'm torn.  I don't mind that he doesn't take a nap other than it makes it difficult for me to get my chores done.  It's nice when he takes a nap but at the same time it sets our schedule, we're stuck until he wakes up.  Sometimes he'll take a late nap, from 6-7PM.  He'll still go to bed with us and fall asleep around 9PM but then he's ready to rock and roll at 4:30AM.  That was our morning yesterday.  Up at 4:30, woo hoo.  But again it's not a big deal because he'll watch Little Bear and play with his toys and I have several hours to blog and fold laundry before my day officially starts :)

My point?  I guess I don't have one.  This is just the way my kids are, Biggest's nap routine was like this until he was 3 and I guess Littlest is going the same route, it's how they're wired.  I just wanted to put this out there for all the moms who dealing with the same issue.  I know there are others out there.  We'll get through this, it's but a season of our lives.  They will grow out of it all too soon...
