It is official. Vincente has given up his nap. I’m getting all choked up just writing about it, because it means that he is a big boy now. We still have quiet time in the afternoon while Joseline takes a nap – I let him watch a show or he reads, or plays quietly. But it is really sad.
The up side?
His bedtime is 7:30pm now. We put him down tonight and he fell asleep without a peep. That was the easiest bedtime we’ve had for several months. And he was actually pretty much emotionally stable this evening.
The transition was hard – I think he’s been needing to give up the afternoon nap for a few months, because it was so hard for him to fall asleep at night, but if skipped the nap, he was so ornery in the late afternoon – like, TERROR. But in the past few days, he’s just kind of naturally skipped his nap. He’s taken little cat naps in the car and things, but he hasn’t had that good 2 1/2 hour nap that he usually needs. And then today, he didn’t have a cat nap or ANYTHING. And he was FINE. It was amazing.
And a little sad.
On to a new chapter in the book of Vince’s life – no nap times and an early bedtime! (I have to admit I like the early bedtime!)
