When you said your DH is  worried that she won't take him, I didn't realise this was still a "trial" but in that case, then I agree, I wouldn't worry too much.

Its not a trial in the sense that she doesn't know if she wants to or not.  Its just that she doesn't need this as her income.  Its extra income but she doesn't have other kids to care for so not so much a business as a someone who's keeping herself busy.  Well, that doesn't sound right either..... LOL  She could change her mind anytime and not take any other kids and be fine I guess I'm trying to say.  The last kid she sat stopped in September.....I just wouldn't want her to think he's too young kind of thing, vs a 2 yr old....

Sorry I didn't realise you were doing the 6ish beds, I thought you were still on 730.
Now some of the things you said make sense.  You had said it wasn't early enough at one point I got confused....these long posts do that don't they? 
I agree that the 15 min thing has to begin once some days are consistent.  You don't mean doing that even though he's only on one nap do you? 
thanks for checking it though!

Yes, it is the long posts that gets things confused sometimes!!!!

I would wait until there is consistency in your days - at least a wee bit of it - to start the shuffle forwards!!

We slept till 5:55 today...with a bit of intervention....I told him it was night and momma and appa were sleeping and he settled right down?  Can that be the key?  More verbalisation!  LMAO
He slept for the pm nap at the daycare yesterday.  Put down way too late for the pm nap in my opinion but slept two hours ...and then she woke him....not sure why...I told her not to anymore.....she's all confused.....wake him don't wake him.....We have a notebook that we share so I wrote everything in there, very simply. 

PS Love the new pic....adorable!

Fantastic news that he slept!  I remember these days, and as the clock crept closer and closer to 6am the better it got! 

Hope things continue to go this route!!
