bo kept us up a lot last night, mostly because Dean and I differed on giving him a bottle to get him back to sleep. that’s a whole different post, lets just say Dean slept on the couch because I told him to leave me alone and didnt want to argue about a bottle at 2 am. So he said he did that so he wouldnt be tempted to talk to, all I know is I ended up sleeping with Caleb in our bed because I guess he got up to go potty and saw Dean gone and took his spot. In the end Bo got a bottle, and drank it all then went back to sleep.
Bo’s been off his schedule for a week or so now, I cant get him to nap at his normal nap times and I just dont know what’s up with it. Some days he wont nap at all. then some days he takes two good 1 hour plus naps. So today we went to walmart early and bo slept in the car a lot. so I assumed he wouldnt need a nap although i tried to settle him in when we got back just in case. No luck. Instead he falls asleep shortly after noon, without eating his lunch first even. He’s still asleep and I”m guessing I’ll wake him up when it’s time to get Caleb then come home and feed him lunch and caleb a snack. I intended to give Caleb a nap this afternoon since we have plans to be out past bedtime tonight and that both boys would nap this afternoon so I could too. looks like now at least Bo will be up, but who knows, maybe he’s tired from his rough night last night. I hate not knowing when he’s going to nap it throws my whole day off. But I got to thinking and I vaguely remember a friend saying around a year their daughter moved from 2 naps to one and that one nap is from 12-2. So maybe that’s what Bo is trying to do, get a true midday nap. All I know is I like two naps a day better! It was great, picking up Caleb coming home putting Bo to bed for nap and getting one on one time w/ Caleb to read, do his homework, play….I know things will really change when baby E arrives but I assumed I’d still have some quiet time with caleb during the day. We’ll see, maybe Bo’s sleep is just off due to teething or something.
next week is Calebs first field trip w/ this school and I have a sitter lined up for Bo so I can be w/ Caleb for his first school bus ride and the field trip. I am looking forward to it, although I remember going there last year and the day was so cold and windy, hopefull this year will be different, but today’s pretty cool so I’m guessing next week will be too. So nothing exciting going on around here, just trying to figure out this parenting two kids thing, then before long we’ll have to figure out parenting 3 kids, oh so much to look forward to!
