I can NOT get Shai to nap. OMG. It's getting ridiculous. It was the same before I weaned him, so it's not an issue of not nursing him. It's an issue of "WILL YOU LIE DOWN AND CLOSE YOUR EYES?!?!"

So I had one of the better Yom Kippurs of my life. The fast was fine. We spent most of the day at the hotel where services were. Shai napped on my mom's hotel room bed. Niv did not.
