yay for no fighting you going to sleep and yay for a longish nap! we only get 1.5 hour days here, sometimes 1 hour 45mins so that may be all you get in the end but its alot better than what has been happeneing.

and yes, do not mention these spirited kids in their teens, as the Bible says "do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow has enough worries of its own" I dont need to be thinking about Caleb running amuck in his teenage years.... maybe i could ship him off to your place for a holiday Wendy! LOL Finn and Caleb could run amuck together! ;)

Victory is mine!!!!!    I got Marlow take a 1.45 hr nap today AND I got her to take a 20 min snooze in the car.    She slept from 5 to 520ish and I'm putting her to bed at 730pm.    I know, kind of late in the day for a snooze but I figure with all the OT built up that it should be a wash.    We got on the highway and drove about 20 min out into the country.   The further I drove the harder she started to cry.   I finally gave up and turned around.    I had to calm her so I reached all the way back and stroked her shin with my finger.    That was all that could reach her.   With in a few minutes she conked out!   Success!

Way to go Sharon! Hopefully she has a good night tonight, and you can start to really iron away the residual OT...

Here's the kicker, tomorrow I have to leave the kids with my MIL all day.    She is really good at sticking to my schedule though and will do exactly as I say.    I have to leave at 10am and won't be back until 3pm at the earliest.   EEK!  I'm nervous because I rarely leave the kids and if I do its carefully planned so that Marlow has had her nap(s) and my MIL won't have to do much.   

FYI Alila is doing fine today.   There is a 24 hour weak stomach bug going around the church and she got it from my MIL.   

Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

That late afternoon nap came back to bite me from 2 -4am last night.    She was awake and cried a little bit but most of the time she just sat there whining.    I went in 3 times during the 2 hours to tell her it was sleepy time.    The last time I went in I just about gave up and got a bottle but she got quite again so I decided to just go to bed.     She fell asleep about 10 minutes later.    She got up at 7am.     Alright so she is up later in the day than normal so that's good news.    She should take her one and only nap at 1245pm.

Yeah, I'd say if that CN is getting too late, then just go for an earlier bedtime.  Keep that nap at that solid A time for a good week (like Wendy has suggested) and see if she doesn't lengthen it out.  Hope today goes well with your MIL!

Good luck today Sharon with your MIL! I know it's always nerveracking leaving your LO with someone else. You are lucky that she follows your directions to a T!

Yesterday I was pondering whether or not to put Sophie down for a CN since she NEVER sleeps in her carseat and frequently refuses her p.m. nap so rather than deciding to fight it, I just put her down for bed super early and she still woke at the same time she usually does.

What a great idea Wendy! I can already imagine them talking..."OT Crib Party at my house...2 a.m.!"

By the way Jo, I saw your darling Caleb's game with the little man under the bowls....SO cute! I think I shall try this with Sophie tomorrow!

What would I do without you ladies and a little bit of laughter!?!

Ok so last night she woke me at 2am and wouldn't go back to sleep.   She sat quietly and I went in her room 3 times in those two hours to tell her "sleepy time".    I can't sleep if she isn't asleep.   Eventually I just decided, screw it, I'm going to sleep.  She would eventually go to sleep.   She was just sitting there quietly, but would whine on occasion.   She fell asleep at 4am.  She woke briefly at 5am, 6 am and was up for the day at 7am.   

Nap time was at 1245pm.   My MIL put her down at 12:30 but she rocked her to sleep.   I forgot to tell her to just put Marlow in the crib.    Anyway Marlow would fall asleep on her shoulder then my MIL would try to transfer her to the crib.   As soon as she laid her down Marlow would pop her head up and cry.   She picked her up and did it two more times.   The last time she sat there for a long time before putting her in the crib at 130pm and she slept solid until 3pm. 

Do you all think that I could count most of that hour between 1230 and 130 as rest?   If, so that means she took a roughly 2.5 hour nap.

Katie80 -Good to see you!
Tao- Thanks for thinking of us.
Wendy - You were right about that 5.45 hour A time...so far;)
