And the thing is she still wakes up by 7am so half the time she's only getting barely 10 hrs still. Bleh! I know if she's happy just leave her be.. Also this past 9pm bed time makes it so hard to clean up and have a moment to sit down to rest before bed!
So I def help make late bedtime monster too 
K is often the last one to go to sleep at daycare. She's afraid to miss something. 
and J is SO clingy right now too - literally must be held. No wonder why he isn't learning how to walk This thread has been closed.

@BandDmommy: That's great!! It's one thing I wish our center does; but then again I think that's why ours is cheaper haha!
So K napped from 11-12:15 at school. My mom picked her up, and now her, me and DH are arguing whether to give her another nap haha. Yesterday she woke up from 2nd nap at 3:15 and still stayed up till 9pm. That's almost 6 hrs of wake time! But I'm afraid going from 12:15 to 7 is going to be too much.
-
@winniebee: That's awesome.. hoping E can go that route! Any tips?
@MrsF: Thanks, SUCH a relief!
@BandDmommy: Awww, thats awesome to get so many pics!
@snowjewelz: I'd let her nap and just wake her up earlier? -
@josina: I just left the kid potty out for him to see and probably around 20 months got a potty seat for the toilet. I let him watch me go to the bathroom and he understood what it meant, etc. Whenever I went pee I would ask if he wanted to sit on the potty and after age 2 he started saying yes a lot of the time!
-
@josina: Yeah, I told my mom to let her nap if she seems really tired/cranky... But even if she sleeps at 3 and wake her up at 4 that still means staying up past 9
And the thing is she still wakes up by 7am so half the time she's only getting barely 10 hrs still. Bleh! I know if she's happy just leave her be.. Also this past 9pm bed time makes it so hard to clean up and have a moment to sit down to rest before bed!
-
@snowjewelz: her bedtime is 9? Yikes, that's my bedtime. :). I put D to bed at 7.
-
@BandDmommy: It's been 9 because she still takes 2 naps and she is awake for FIVE HOURS from last wake up! She will not go to bed any earlier!
-
@snowjewelz: Are you still co-sleeping? How do you put her to sleep? Like are you having to lay down with her?
I'm just wondering outloud if she would go to sleep earlier if "forced". I know you tend to let her lead, so you might not be comfortable with forcing her to sleep earlier.
K will act like she doesn't want to sleep, and cry about it. But in her crib she goes with the door closed and she stops crying within a minute and is asleep within 5 minutes. I think if she wasn't isolated to her crib by herself in the dark that she'd probably stay up longer. Neither of my girls are the sort that just lay down and go to sleep without being told they have to. C has always been like this. Generally they both get loopy overtired as well and not too terribly cranky (that is until you insist its bedtime).
-
@MamaG: Yeah we lay down with her, but if we put her to bed any earlier (go through bed routine like usual), she is wide awake and just won't go to sleep (I even had DH try to make sure it's not me). But if I let her stay awake for 5 hrs she's fall asleep super easy. But I totally see what you're saying, and that totally could be it too. Which would solidify the fact that we probably need to move her (we kept saying that haha but before her sleep went crazy it had been working so good).
-
@banddmommy: i was thinking the same thing! i'm lucky if i make it til 930 most nights! i'm bummed when K doesn't go to bed until 8.
-
@KayKay: K used to go to bed 8-8:30 and that was my limit too lol. So this is really killing us!!
Sorry about my on-going nap/time time saga.
Ugggh so my mom said she fell asleep at 3:15. The other thing too, I HATE waking her up
So I def help make late bedtime monster too 
-
@snowjewelz: I missed most of your conversation, but Logan always stays up for 5 hours after his nap until bedtime. That's part of why he's on one nap now. He does 5 hours in the morning, 2 hour nap, and then 5 hours, and goes to bed at 7:30.
-
@Adira: eh. its really the same conversation. so I guess my mom tried to keep her up but she was crashing.
I think I need to ask daycare if she can hold out and nap at 12 instead of 11... But at home she can crash as early as 10... Ahhh I am going crazy lol.
-
@snowjewelz: You're just at that shitty transition time. If you don't want her staying up until 9, what about trying to keep her up (and letting her nap at 11:00), but then putting her down for the night early (instead of taking a second nap)? When Logan was transitioning to one nap, he was going to bed for the night around 5:30 (basically as soon as we got home from daycare).
-
@snowjewelz: What time do they feed lunch at daycare? Or are they flexible and don't make all the class eat at the same time?
-
@Adira: We could.................. But b/c she is known for only sleeping for 10 hours normally, I'm afraid she'd wake up at 4am...
@MamaG: They pair off and feed like 2 at a time I think depending on who's awake I guess? I def need to go in and talk to them about this... But I really think she might be doing what your girls do too.. B/c yesterday she woke up at 3:15 and still didn't sleep till after 9.
-
@snowjewelz: Interesting, I've not seen it done like that before. Its nice that they accommodate differing schedules.
-
@MamaG: I think this will prob change when they move up and get a more rigid schedule... They always told me they could put K down at any time too, it's just that K doesn't want to sleep if no one else is sleeping
So now we're also just toying with the idea to leave her there the whole day so if she takes a cat nap for a 2nd time, fine, and if not, we just get her home, feed her dinner and then straight to bed.
-
@snowjewelz: Ahem, I think she's fighting sleep
K is often the last one to go to sleep at daycare. She's afraid to miss something. I don't have the option to have a short day at daycare, but as far as establishing routine - being there all day does great!
-
@MamaG: seriously, i'm like trust me, we don't do anything fun down here after you've gone to bed. i swear!
-
@snowjewelz: Good luck whatever you decide to do... I'm with you though, E's usually up till 9. Last night he was singing his heart out right till I put him in bed. 8:30 would be ideal (we eat supper way late so sooner isnt going to happen) but when I try for that he's up screaming. 9:00 no fuss at all, so it works for us. He's up at the same time regardless of bedtime.
-
@josina: yes yes yes! how do you get anything done when he doesn't go to bed till 9!
-
@snowjewelz: hope whatever you chose to do goes smoothly it is hard
I tried one nap this weekend but by 10 she was done
G is the same way at daycare she won't take a morning nap there because no one else does -
@BandDmommy: Hope D had a great day
-
@snowjewelz: lol... my step daughter helps a ton, and luckily E is pretty good with playing on his own once he's fed and happy! Plus that time gets to be DH's time with him so they play.
-
@josina: DH is home to play with her too, but she clings onto me like there's no tomorrow! I need a teenager daughter at home, lol!
-
@snowjewelz: t always slept 10 hours on the nose, until we moved to 1 nap. He never napped a long time (1.5 hours) but then started sleeping 10.5/11 at night.
-
First day in the books. She loved it! She ate like a horse. They were shocked that she ate as much as she did. However, she only napped 1 hour. Which is different than the 3 - 4 hours she does at home. I'm not shocked since B slept like crap in the infant room as well. It got better when he moved to toddler room.
-
@snowjewelz: lol. It helps, although I'm still #1 in E's book, then dad, then sis. I just have to disappear sometimes!
@BandDmommy: Aww, glad she loved it! That makes it 'a little' easier on you! -
@snowjewelz: @josina: Yep, I am her favorite toy too....lol
I can comiserate -
@BandDmommy: Nice!
-
@snowjewelz: Ugh - this nap transition is giving us issues too. I've been trying so hard to come up with a solution but the good news is - even if I never figure it out, it'll work itself out eventually
and J is SO clingy right now too - literally must be held. No wonder why he isn't learning how to walk @BandDmommy: So glad the first day went well! Hopefully her naps will get better as she gets more used to things.
-
@MrsF: I can't say I'm shocked, her brother took crap naps in the infant room as well. She was in good spirits, so I can't complain. I've always said I will take STTN over good naps any day of the week. And she had to be woken up this morning at 7:30 a.m. (she went to bed at 6:30 pm.) for daycare, so can't complain.
-
@BandDmommy: wow, that's great! I def agree that I'll take STTN and they can do whatever with naps, haha!
@MrsF: Yes, if I learned anything from having this baby, is that everything is a phase!
So last night went okay; she woke up at 4:10 and went to slepe at 9:30pm. We just took turns cleaning up. She was in pretty good spirits just wandering around following us or helping me "clean" along the way.
Will see what today brings......
-
@BandDmommy: aww that's so cool that they send you updates! glad her first day of daycare went well!
@snowjewelz: sorry for the late nights! you'll find something that works best for you!
-
Home with K today. She seems okay, just a little cough and runny nose. Not slowing her down. But on our way to the ent she gagged up a bunch of moucus. On the way back she threw up breakfast after coughing. I guess she has some drainage.
-
@snowjewelz: Love our cleaning ladies
@BandDmommy: I had to wake G today too! Glad she slept well!!!
@MamaG: awww poor girl!
-
@MamaG: Awww!!
-
@FaithFertility: Except she takes our my clean towels from the cabinet (since I only let her touch those) and then wipe the floor haha. But A for effort!
-
@snowjewelz: Yep same bahahha and wipes we go through soooo many
-
@MamaG: ugh yucky!
R was up from 430-530 am...no idea why. Very mad when I tried to get him to go back to sleep. Like he wanted to be up for the day. He napped a lot yesterday and isn't over his last sickness...still a cold. But I swear he has a new runny nose. Maybe it's a tooth that's plaguing him.
