As were trying to change Stevens sleeping habits to more normal hours, today we keep him up past his normal nap time. Steven's normal nap hours are between 6p-8pm. I know right, then he's up until about 3am and he sleeps in till' about noon. For a minute this worked, since I have late hours and early mornings. But now its getting ridicluas. So today is the day Steven will either have an early nap or not one at all.
When 6:30 came he wanted me to rock and hold him, though I love spoiling my baby I had to resist his sleepy droopy eyes. I stood him up w/ a sleepy fight, and walked him to his messy room I began to play with him to get his mind off how tired he actually was, he began to laugh and play. Daddy started his bath, he loves to play in the tub, so at least that would give us another hour he would be up.
After, his bath he wanted to paint, since all I have is fabric paint we went to Kmart to buy finger paints for him. The time now is about 8:30p, He fell asleep on the way, not even 10 minutes but enough for a small power nap. Once he saw the paint & poster boards he was up and alert! When we got back home he was ready to paint with his new paints. He would of painted in the store if we let him. He was so happy, he did not fight, cry or scream at all! This is NOT normal Steven, I still need to break his bad "Out in public" habits, but tonight was rather a breeze. We told him we were going to buy him paint, and thats what we did, we made it easier by not doing any eXtra shopping.
Anyway, project toddler sleeping habits: almost Complete.
10am Steven wakes up, its now almost 4pm and he still has had no nap so were going to the pool once his sister gets home from school.
