Transitioning: 2 Naps to 1

Isaac hasn't been taking his afternoon nap lately, so Jake and I decided to start moving him to one nap a day. It's only been a couple days and not super easy. Isaac has always gone down for bed beautifully and this just makes it that much more of a stressor when he doesn't go down easily. A few nights ago after putting him down, he got upset and cried and cried. I went in, tried rocking him and then he decided he wanted to get up and play, so I put him back in his crib to stress BED TIME. He got upset again, so I sent Jake in with his guitar. This is what I saw on the baby monitor...

SO PRECIOUS!

Sadly, the music wasn't enough to lull him to sleep, so I came back in and rocked him while Jake played and after 20 minutes or so, the boy was finally asleep. Whew. I look forward to this transition being over!

Ike's Dog Bed

Isaac loves Annabel's dog bed, especially when he's tired. He plays in it almost nonstop and then suddenly lays down. Most of Ike's favorite things are Annabel's and thankfully she gives them up pretty readily to him if it means she can escape from his "pets" (still working on being gentle).
