Sleepytime snafu's
So, M is having some issues with her daytime sleep. I know that she's at the age where she might switch from two naps to one but I'm looking for some guidance from you mommas out there on how you made the transition easy for both you and baby. It started Monday when she took NO morning nap, then only slept an hour in the afternoon. She usually takes a 1 1/2 hour nap from 9:30-11:00, then a 1 hour nap from 2:00-3:00. The last couple days, I've put her in her crib around 10:30 and she's slept for 30-45 minutes but she's still only sleeping an hour in the afternoon. I know a lot of toddler's sleep for 2 hours or more in the afternoon. The biggest problem is that she's still really sleepy in the morning. I was ready to skip the a.m. sleep altogether but she curled up on the floor behind the chair, rubbed her eyes and started sucking her thumb (yes, we have a thumb sucker). So, I feel like she still wants that nap. Any tips???

We still go through this transition and it has been going on for weeks now. I will send an e-mail, might be too long for the blog.
We're going through the same thing here. Mikaela and Chance didn't drop that morning nap until closer to 18 months. Trinity seems to be done with it. My advice would just be to take it day by day. Some days Trinity will take a small morning nap because she really needs it. Other days she skips it and takes an earlier afternoon nap (like right after lunch). Just know at first, she won't fall into a good routine. Some days she'll nap good, others won't be so good. Good luck!!
