schedules

Torrance is outgrowing her 4 nap a day schedule.

She just doesn't know it yet.

If I let her take 4 naps nowadays they are all short and she is fussy.

So the past few weeks I've cut it to 3 and somedays 2.

She gets up about 8:00 or 8:30, naps at 10 for 1/2 hour to 1 hour,

then goes down again at 2 for 2.5-3 hours. ah!

Then sometimes an evening nap, sometimes not.

Then goes to bed at 8 with the other kids.

It works perfectly for her to have a long afternoon nap giving me time with the older kids when they get home and time to get supper started. And a little quiet time for me too I wont lie!

This schedule keeps her so much happier too.

But around 12:30 Tori can get pretty fussy as she waits

for her 1-1:30 bottle after we walk Sully to preschool.

Today I was cleaning up the kitchen and she wasn't fussing yet but I could tell we were getting to the tired point. Then I looked over and poof...she was asleep.

ADORABLE!

My babies do not do this past about age 2 months.

They are really only able to sleep once I lay them in their beds.

This NEVER happens.

But Tori has her trusty best friend - her thumb.

Its a magic trick for her.

And I think its like the cutest thing ever.

And seriously, is that not the sweetest thing in the entire world...a totally conked out baby!?
