Nap time
Nap time seems to be the hardest part of my day lately. Poor little Warren just doesn't know what is best for him. He fights & fights to stay awake and then he gets so tired he just doesn't know what to do with himself. He cries when I try to nurse him, he cries when I hold him, he cries when I put him on the couch, the floor, the exersaucer, and he screams bloody murder when I put him in his crib.
Everyone says that consistency is the key. I never learned consistency and it's really difficult for me to practcie consisentcy in my daily life. I let the kids sleep in as late as they want and we take our days as they come. I let patterns arrise naturally and allow them to change as needed. I like to live a fluid and organic life.
Where I do bring consitency into play is when my children need discipline and guidence. Chris & I map out specific rules and follow thru with the consequences of breaking those rules. And when sleepy Warren is crying and just won't tolerate anything, I have to put him in his bed and let him cry for a few minutes so he understands, now is nap time.
Ahhhh... I think he just got it. He stopped crying. He's such a good little boy. I hope I'm doing right by him and raising him to be a smart, productive, hard working member of society.
