We've had a had a nanny full time since i went back to work almost 2 months ago. my LO is 14.5 months old. I didn't bother with charts or logs at first because I didn't think it was necessary since they are at home. But lately DH and I have the hardest time getting LO to nap on the weekends! It is affecting him too. he looks tired and is cranky and our weekends are not fun which sucks because that is when we get the most time together.

So I am thinking we need to be super rigid with maintaining the same schedule 7 days/week and so I decided to make a daily log/chart for us and the nanny to fill out. We will keep it up on the weekends too.

I am just wondering what should be included. This is what I have so far:

Wake up time
Breakfast Time
Morning nap start, finish, length
Lunch Time
Afternoon nap start, finish, length
Supper Time
Bed Time
Poo (yes/no/during nap?)
Notes (Mood, activities, food, etc.)

** I put a column for poo because OFTEN he poos during his nap which wakes him and results in a super short, or no, nap.

What do you think? It is too much/overkill? Anything I should add or take out?
