That's what I do. A shortened version of the same routine, and she knows it means it's time to sleep. I also did Ferber a while back, as you may remember, and I think that helped. She's still in a crib, though, so who knows what'll happen when I eventually try to transition her to a bed... Good luck!

I wonder if you were able to make it clear that he can't get out of his room during nap time and turned the lights off, etc. he would at least get some rest and sometimes nap? My experience is that my daughter sometimes takes up to an hour to fall asleep on the weekends!<br /><br />Sorry you are having to go through this.<br /><br />good luck!Tara Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822265722745137967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688810272914203813.post-62222707916818787802013-12-23T03:06:32.940-08:002013-12-23T03:06:32.940-08:00I was thinking the same thing as Claire.

I spend Saturday nights home doing laundry & really don't mind so would've been happy to have B! <br /><br />Elena started phasing out her nap around 18 months...it was hit & miss...I did the driving around thing too. Sorry no real advice.

When your sitter cancelled I would have said "bring him over here!" Or so you could get a few hours of sleep. It would be so wonderful to have one or two other SMCs where we just helped each other. My married friends all get regular breaks and even though I am in a babysitting coop and have great friends to lean on, it is not the same. Glad you got it all figured out. No advice on the napping, I have always been very strict about sleeping in their own beds and my girls are agreeable enough that the generally follow the rules. At 4 yo, Fiona is outgrowing her naps and man, it does HURT to not have that afternoon down time.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18090532551103414307noreply@blogger.com
