Now that's funny, my husband's birthday is August 22!
Thanks for the advice - I guess maybe we need to try and trick him into that last nap somehow. We've been trying to limit his daytime sleeping to 4 hours and on the days that we have success his nights have been better. But let me tell you, this kid has a LOT of willpower, and if he wants to sleep he's going to make darn sure that it happens or he'll make you regret it! It's always been hard to get him to change a routine or habit, and the process takes much longer with him than the average.
So here's another issue, maybe related? He refuses to sleep in his crib during the day. He'll sometimes take his morning nap in there, but after that, forget it. He'll sleep on the couch in the living room or if he's held, but you better not take him anywhere near that crib. He's been that way since he was born, and I have tried EVERYTHING to get him to sleep there during the day. Night is fine, no problem, but something about day...
