I've been going crazy with Daniel's lack of naps recently. He has a tendancy to go down, and 10 minutes...or even 20 minutes later wake up again...and NOT go back to sleep. He did that this morning, but this afternoon, he slept for 1-1/2 hours! (like babies his age are *supposed* to do!) It was so wonderful. I felt like a person. I rested with him for about 15 minutes, getting him to sleep, and then he slept for a long time. I don't think it's that I get more done necessarily when he's sleeping than when he's awake, but I get some time to be on my own. It's such a nice feeling!
Daniel's getting better at sleeping in his crib. He knows when it's time for a nap or bedtime, and he starts to protest as soon as he sees the crib. He's a smart one. Recently, though, I've been talking him to sleep, and it's worked pretty well.
