Naps

I love naps. I really love that I have the kids on a similar afternoon nap schedule!

Rylan is taking two naps a day. I usually try to get him down for his morning nap around 9:30 am because it's typically only 30 minutes and all the programs we go to start at 10:30 am. If he doesn't go down that early and we're going out, he'll usually take a nap in the car or stroller.

Rylan has to have a morning nap. He didn't want to take a nap the other morning before we met Amy's family at our pool at 10 am. He got really grumpy within an hour and he fell asleep on me in the pool. I laid him down on a beach towel on the concrete around the pool and he amazing stayed asleep. He took a 45 minute nap on that hard concrete!

I usually put Carter down for a nap around 1:30 pm. He almost always goes to sleep easily within a few minutes. Then I usually nurse Rylan and he'll fall asleep. I will then put him in his crib and he'll sleep anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. If he takes a short nap, I can usually get him to fall back asleep on me and I'll hold him and watch TV while he finishes his nap.

I am so glad that I usually have a little bit of time in the afternoon to catch up on things around the house. I'm still always behind but am a little more sane with the break.
