When mommy took Mason to his two year well toddler visit, she got to talking about my naps with the doctor. Some of my friends no longer take naps or their parents are actively encouraging them to not nap so they'll go to bed at a reasonable hour. So, mommy was curious if we should do the same thing.
The doctor asked how it was putting me to bed at night when I napped. Mommy told her that when I took naps, I'd fight going to bed and stay up til 9:30 or 10 pm. Since that was the case, she recommended dropping my afternoon nap on the days that I don't go to daycare. She also said that I would probably be cranky in the evening for about a month or so.
Today was the first day I didn't have to take a nap! It was amazing! I got to play with my new LeapPad, play without Mason getting into my stuff, eat popcorn and watch the Niners game. Daddy says I was especially whiney in the late afternoon and evening. Mommy didn't really notice, but I think it's because I've trained her to tune it out.
So, what was the result? I went to bed at 8 pm without any fussing or protesting. Bye, bye naps!
