Naps and Pumpkins



Thought I would try to do a blog post more often than just once every other month...

 

We have started the transition to one nap. Riley was doing great taking two naps but our schedule wasn't really letting her do that most days. Then she was in a phase where she wasn't taking one nap or two naps well. So I made the switch. It has been a little challenging keeping her up for the entire morning but she seems to be adjusting well. We went from two naps for a total of 3 hours sleep to one nap with about 2 to 2.5 hours sleep!

 

Most days Riley wakes up from her nap in a great mood. See proof below. She could win a bedhead contest any day of the week! Other days, she is in a terrible mood and it takes us putting her back in her crib for 15 minutes before she will snap out of it. Side note: in elementary school, I woke up in a terrible mood and everyone in my family knew better than to talk to me until we were leaving for school! Yikes, it sounds like she is taking after me.



A super cute pumpkin picture we took at the Arboreteum. I love, love, love her face in this pic. She makes this scrunched up face right before she screams in delight over something. She is teaching me alot about being joyful!
