I think that naptime needs to be a thing of the past all the time for Alexander. This summer, the naps have become fewer and fewer. He ends up taking a nap about every 3 to 4 days. Then, when he does take the nap, it is impossible to wake him up and we can't get him to go to sleep at night. When he doesn't nap, he goes to bed between 7:30 and 8:00 and it takes roughly 10 minutes for him to get to sleep. When he does nap, we start bedtime at the same time and it takes a good hour for him to fall asleep. We end up wanting to pull our hair out at around 9:00. He can't feel very good about himself either because we end up getting really frustrated with him.
He goes back to daycare next week though and I'm not sure what is going to happen with naps there. All of the kids take a 2 1/2 hour nap during the day. I'm going to have to talk to his teacher to see what we can do. I don't think we can handle bedtime that takes over an hour every night. We need some evening time without kids!
