When he DOES nap though, bedtime is later. I put the kids in bed around 7:30, 8 ish, but when he naps he's up and in and out of his room til 9. If he doesn't nap, he goes to sleep pretty quickly. Would moving bedtime up help?<br /><br />And the wanting her way may be her being two... isn't it a fun age? *sigh*<br /><br />Good luck!Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104844306726839444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3833769997203816136.post-89541237284804561102010-10-09T22:08:10.468-06:002010-10-09T22:08:10.468-06:00Aw, I definitely get you on this Sara! Little ones...Aw, I definitely get you on this Sara! Little ones are so demanding sometimes. I got to get my hair cut today, and I was gone for like 3 hours (taking my time being out of the house, haha). I still wasn't ready to come home! I was enjoying myself far too much. But really there isn't much "breaking" for us on on-track semesters. Blah. I didn't feel bad about today, I just figured that I had to make up for the last few weeks (and the next few weeks) of "single-mommyhood". I don't know how real single-moms do it!! Just 7 weeks until Thanksgiving break... haha. Hang in there! You're a great mom!The Mathesonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02884016709116759285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3833769997203816136.post-66372280620084984362010-10-09T16:43:12.262-06:002010-10-09T16:43:12.262-06:00Oh dear.

But she turned 5 in June and still takes quiet time every day- if we've been busy that morning, she might sleep 3 hours! If she doesn't need to sleep, she'll read for about an hour. You need to find someone who can swap kid time with you! We've been doing the same "single but married" parenting for a long, long time (with a few really lovely breaks.) You need time to just take a walk!Myrniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585790815417752655noreply@blogger.com
