I did <i>not</i> want to give up my quiet afternoon time. But, as you say, her ransacking her room during "nap time" or staying up till midnight were not viable long-term options either. Finally, I gave in.<br> <br><br> <br>And just as we were getting used to our quiet afternoons together while the boys slept, it all started again with my son. But I had learned my lesson (read: pick your battles) and immediately stopped his nap. Now? He sacks out right away at bedtime. And I do, too, because there's No. Break. All. Day.<br> <br><br> <br>All this to say: Yes! I empathize!Staciahttp://www.myfluffybunnies.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4521946248119237445.post-5548562144833547732011-03-09T17:23:21.000-08:002011-03-09T17:23:21.000-08:00They sleep from 6pm to 9am?

It's so hard giving up some of the joyful afternoon quietness, but to have a silent house at 7:30 is a dream come true. The only downside is that I am too tired at that point to do anything! Also, I always struggle with the choice of staying up and having some fun, or going to bed early just in case the kids are up all night coughing/peeing the bed/other Tom Foolery.<br> <br><br> <br>I totally love your blog!

And that will be even awesomer than a nap! Probably!

Which meant she sat and looked at the pages. Four books today, baby, mama needs to close her eyes. But the early bedtime is delicious.Katehttp://Watercoloringthetable.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
