sleep.... don't you love it?

I mentioned before how Miss Ruby recently decided that she no longer needs naps.
Well, I beg to differ.....




She's falling asleep almost every day in strange places, but refuses to go to her bed for a nap.  These random snoozes usually take place late afternoon which is making bedtime more difficult.  Oh Ruby!  What on earth are you thinking?  If someone offered me a nap at the same time every day I would surely take it.  You have no idea how lucky you are to have the freedom to nap at your leisure and someday... SOME DAY I hope you read this and feel a hint of remorse for the loss of your naps.  For someday you will be like me and long for a nap that you cannot take because of responsibilities and a funny thing called life that you cannot escape.

Here's what Leo and I got up to while Ruby slept on the couch yesterday....



He, on the other hand is napping quite well.  He's still doing two naps per day and my doctor recently suggested that I transition him to one nap in hopes of getting him to sleep longer at night.  I'm not sold on the fact that he's done with his morning nap but I'm tempted to give it a try.  He's no worse than Ruby was at this age, (still waking twice each night) but it's wearing me down.  It's been an entire year since I've slept longer than 3 hours in a row.   Every night when I go to bed I wonder if this will be the night that Leo sleeps all night.  It's gotta happen and I hope it happens randomly when I least expect it.  Like tonight.  

xxxooo
