He sees light outside and knows it ain't bed time. Even with no nap his usual bed time is 8. Also Bryce doesn't get home til 6 so when he's home 8 is really the earliest we can swing. When I'm alone it's 730. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worse-than-a-toddler-dropping-her-last-nap#post-2185046 Wed, 20 May 2015 23:47:22 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2185046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i love no naps! early bedtimes! olive is 3 1/2 and in the process of dropping her nap, but it will probably take her at least another couple of months. i can't wait! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worse-than-a-toddler-dropping-her-last-nap#post-2185013 Wed, 20 May 2015 21:52:52 +0000 chopsuey 2185013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: ditto what @andrea said, but we chill in J's room for 2-10mins until he passes out. Little homey won't stay in his bed if we just leave him! M was ok with us leaving her to fall asleep on her own when she was a little bit older than J, so hopefully he'll be good soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worse-than-a-toddler-dropping-her-last-nap#post-2184993 Wed, 20 May 2015 20:53:06 +0000 Andrea 2184993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: both kids were tired from no naps and just went to bed earlier right after they dropped the nap. Hope she sleeps earlier soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worse-than-a-toddler-dropping-her-last-nap#post-2184992 Wed, 20 May 2015 20:52:31 +0000 regberadaisy 2184992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: :shocked: how old is your LO? My eldest took cat naps for the longest time. Till over one then eventually she started taking longer naps by herself. I might've cried when that day arrived. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worse-than-a-toddler-dropping-her-last-nap#post-2184989 Wed, 20 May 2015 20:50:17 +0000 Greentea 2184989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: ugh yes, my LO naps for 20 minutes, it has always been that way. I hear of these magical children that take 3 hour naps. I can't imagine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worse-than-a-toddler-dropping-her-last-nap#post-2184987 Wed, 20 May 2015 20:48:01 +0000 Greentea 2184987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to complain. I usually avoid mentioning how little DD sleeps. She is up by 6am and takes one short nap and doesn't sleep until 10pm. Not lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worse-than-a-toddler-dropping-her-last-nap#post-2184986 Wed, 20 May 2015 20:46:37 +0000 regberadaisy 2184986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: @chopsuey: how long did it take to get to the sweet spot where they sleep earlier? Even on days she doesn't nap bedtime is 830. Sigh.</p> <p>@winniebee: sigh I remember the cat nap days from DD1. 20 minutes, tops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worse-than-a-toddler-dropping-her-last-nap#post-2184975 Wed, 20 May 2015 20:39:23 +0000 Andrea 2184975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: hang in there! It'll get better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worse-than-a-toddler-dropping-her-last-nap#post-2184971 Wed, 20 May 2015 20:34:35 +0000 winniebee 2184971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: i am envious if your early bed times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worse-than-a-toddler-dropping-her-last-nap#post-2184968 Wed, 20 May 2015 20:30:28 +0000 chopsuey 2184968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 non nappers now and it's been good! My kids are happy and energetic without naps though.<br /> Early bedtimes for all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worse-than-a-toddler-dropping-her-last-nap#post-2184959 Wed, 20 May 2015 20:20:43 +0000 Andrea 2184959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two non-nappers! It is fine by me. The 2 year old is asleep by 6 pm and my 5 year old by 7/7:30 pm. I have lots of me time at night as a reward for being on the go all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worse-than-a-toddler-dropping-her-last-nap#post-2184941 Wed, 20 May 2015 20:01:09 +0000 travelgirl1 2184941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha ha, I'm with @ninja: nothing was my answer too. My kid is doing this 7 weeks before #2 is due. Seriously, kiddo, I had 7 weeks of peace left, sleep!!!<br /> But yeah, you have it worse. I hope they go back to good sleep :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worse-than-a-toddler-dropping-her-last-nap#post-2184939 Wed, 20 May 2015 19:59:44 +0000 winniebee 2184939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A baby brother that doesn't nap at all either?</p> <p>T dropped his nap a few months ago and his brain has not caught up. Cranky pants sleeps 10.5 hours total in a day. </p> <p>Baby brother cat naps. Today no nap was longer than 30 mins. He is 5.5 months. He wakes at night usually twice and is up by 5/6 for the day. Come 9 pm I'm about ready to drop to the floor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worse-than-a-toddler-dropping-her-last-nap#post-2184921 Wed, 20 May 2015 19:42:30 +0000 ninja 2184921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first thought when reading your title was "NOTHING!" But, having the little one drop a nap too must be killer. My 2.5 year old has decided not to nap for the last couple of months, and he is a super whiny crabby pants at the end of the day, so I feel some of your pain. Luckily my younger one is only 9 weeks, so he naps a ton. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-worse-than-a-toddler-dropping-her-last-nap#post-2184893 Wed, 20 May 2015 19:10:58 +0000 regberadaisy 2184893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her baby sister, at the same time, working on dropping down to one nap. Some days it's one nap and some days it's two. But almost always, for the past two weeks, up for the day by 530/600am. And still waking every 3 hours at most. </p> <p>Big sister is fighting naps but sometimes her mind loses to her body which means I leave the room for 5 seconds and come back to a toddler sacked out on the couch. Most nights she's not in bed till 9pm then sleeps till 7am. </p> <p>*yawn* this will all even out eventually, right?</p> <p>Who else wants to complain about naps and sleep? Or lack thereof. </p>
