Hi gals! I've missed you! Sorry it's been so long! I hope you remember me! Anyway, I have a question. How can I get Jacob to take naps consistently? He really fights it but I know he needs to take one, even just 20 min helps. He does so much better at night if he gets in a nap. If he doesn't, he really fights going to bed but I know it's cause he's overtired. He's almost 2 1/2. What do you guys recommend?

How was everyone's Thanksgiving? Mine was good, even though I had a root canal two days before! But I was able to eat, so I was happy! Plus the drugs helped. ;-)

Hope you all are doing well. I'll check back with ya later.

Jenny & Jacob(7/28/04)

hey Jenny! where've ya been girl??? I'm sorry about the root canal... at least you were still able to eat at Thanksgiving!

Hannah started fighting naps for a while too (still does sometimes lol). I told her "fine... you don't have to go to sleep, but it's time to rest". I would make the room really dark and quiet, turn on some peaceful lullaby music, and before I knew it she was out. We still call it "resting time" lol. You might also try some quiet activities before like reading a book or rocking him, and try giving him some warm milk.

How have you been feeling? One of these days we need to hook up for lunch!

My mom used to tell us that we didnt need to sleep and in fact DONT go to sleep - just rest until the timer went off.
