Jack has always been a very scheduled sleeper. We decided to sleep train him last September, when we moved him into his own crib.(A blog post for another time)

When the pandemic hit, we had just begun to transition from two naps a day to one nap. This has been a super difficult transition, because often he is ready to go back to sleep (read: totally melting down) by 10am.

I will be the first to admit- my life is so much easier with two naps a day. And when we were all stuck at home for weeks upon weeks, we very quickly transitioned back to two naps a day.

It broke up the day, gave me two breaks instead of one, and I’m pretty sure it is the only reason we made it through.

Now- I’m in a bit of a tough spot. Most days Jack is still ready for sleep around 10:30-11, but he usually only needs one nap. It all depends on the length of nap#1.

So we wing it most days, and hope for the best.

This approach really encompasses my parenting style…
