Napping

Since Noah has made no attempt to switch to one nap, we have taken the initiative. It seems that most of our friends' kids nap soon after lunch (1:00 or 2:00) which is half way between his two naps (10:00 and 3:00) so I wanted to see what would happen if I just let him decide. I asked him periodically throughout the morning to which he (of course) told me he wasn't sleepy. Jay came home around 12:15 or 12:30 for lunch. Noah just about finished when we saw him sucking on his straw with his eyes closed. At first we thought he was just being silly but when the straw fell out of his mouth and he didn't flinch, we knew he was sleeping. The funniest part is that he still had a bite in his mouth to which we tried swiping out but he wouldn't open. So right now he's laying in bed with a bite of a chicken sandwich in his mouth. He officially fell asleep at 1:00. Now, we'll see how long he sleeps...

Hooray!!! Way to go Noah! That's actually pretty long to hold out on the first try. I had to wean ours from about 12 up to 1 over about a week's time. Guess we'll be having way more playdates!
