For the last week, Maeve's schedule has been in constant flux.
That sweet little stinker has been taking morning naps with NO afternoon nap!
(A napping mother's worst nightmare!)
I've been trying to wean her from the morning nap but she is so tired during the day that's painful for the both of us.
I've tried short-en-ing-ing her morning nap and that just leaves us both grumpy and tired.
(Grumpy for Maeve is a relative term--grumpy maeve = average child, normal maeve = delightfully easy going and happy child)
I remember that Amelie just wasn't tired anymore in the morning--and we easily pushed her nap to 12/12:30 (hello days of yore and your 4 hour nap afternoons...how i miss thee)
Maeve is a different story.
The poor little lamb only slept 20 minutes yesterday morning and was sooo tired that she went to bed at 5:30.
(Luckily she sleeps 12-13 hours a night)
It seems as soon as you get used to one schedule they come up with another--just to keep you on yours toes!
Oh, and Amelie is back to taking 3 hour naps every day.
At least someone is getting some sleep =)

I know how that is. Cam is in that transitional phase, too. Actually, as we speak, I can hear him playing in his crib instead of taking his morning nap! Little Stinker!
Ach. The napping. Must. Have. Napping!!!!!
It's that time.. Leah is in flux too. Some mornings she doesn't take an am nap. Some mornings she just chatters and plays through her afternoon nap.
Two things are consistent:
*She is ready for bed, no matter what, at 8:15.
**She still doesn't sleep through the night. ;)
Sleep Deprivation and Motherhood are synonymous, I'm afraid.
