Nana to the rescue
Naps have become pretty much nonexistent in our house. For the past few weeks, Ryan has not been napping at school, or at home on weekends. At school the kids all lay down on their cots, and I know at the very least he gets some down time while the other kids sleep. At home we also go through the motions of going down for a nap; I read him 2 books, then put him to bed with a couple more books (in the hopes that he will doze off while looking at them). On the past several nap attempts, all is quiet for a maximum of 10 minutes, and then he starts calling for us"MommyDaddyMommyDaddyMommyDaddyyyyy" (He has strict instructions not to get out of bed at both bedtime and nap time and surprisingly, he has always obeyed.). This past Sunday, Tim put him down for a nap with his books while my parents and I relaxed downstairs watching TV. A few minutes later I heard Ryan singing, so I crept up the stairs to stand outside his room and listen. After a few songs, I heard him start to call for me and then quickly switch tactics - "Mom...Nana!!!!! Nana...Nana....Nana....Help me Nana! Nana, please help me!" He knew exactly what he was doing. Within about 2 minutes, his Nana had rescued him from nap time...
