It’s 2:00 in the afternoon, the time I’m usually maxing and relaxing (well, really working) while Falco naps. But right now, he is groaning, “Mommy, I’m awake!” after being in his room for the past hour NOT napping. If this was an isolated incident, I would think it was just an off day. The trouble is, this happened Monday too. That day I thought it was just because I tried to put him to bed too early, but today it was solid nap time. What if he’s on his way to giving up his afternoon nap? What a nightmare. I’M NOT READY FOR THAT!

I hope this week is just weird for some reason, and he will magically get back on track ASAP. How could he suddenly go from taking 3-hour naps daily to no naps? Not only do I need to work while he naps, I need a break from my charming, demanding child. If he does stop napping, he’s going to have to have quiet time or TV time or something that translates into “leave Mommy alone time.” I don’t have the mental capacity to entertain him for 12 solid hours a day.

Good news: He’ll be in bed by 6:45 today.
