Thanks for the plan liz. This is my goal. To get away from the not so long morning nap and get 1 good nap for all 3. And it would be oh so sweet if that meant that they slept longer than 6:00am. .-= Amy´s last blog ..Sleep Questions =-.

Good for you! That's a great accomplishment. You may find as they get used to the transition that their afternoon nap gets longer - I think all of mine did that for a while. Alas, in my house, the youngest is transitioning to no nap at all, and mama is NOT happy. That was my down time, and I needed it. Now, if he naps, he's up til 10 or 11 at night, and THAT we cannot have. Thanks for the shoutout in your sidebar, too!

[...] plan for Giggles, to cut back from 2 naps to 1 nap a day. Yes, it needs to be a 7 Step Master Plan, every parent knows that.. My steps are this: 1. Geetle begins walking herself home from school at 11:10, thereby freeing me [...]

Congratulations, Liz! I’d say that checking this item off the proverbial to-do list is worth celebration, indeed! As usual, sounds like a very well-researched, well-executed transition on your part — kudos. I definitely hear wha you’re saying with the danger of falling asleep in the car. Seems that if Jack does that these days before his one nap, even if only for 15 minutes, the nap is totally down the toilet. Anyway, wow on the later wakeup time. Can Daniel and Rebecca come teach Jack (a reliable 7 a.m. riser, always) how to stay in bed until 7:30 or 8??? Please?

That's great! Glad to hear it went smoothly. I don't even remember transitioning my second. I think it's because he was just taken everywhere because of my older one. He's always taken great afternoon naps though! Alex Elliot´s last blog post..I Want To Be My Dog

I was just thinking of taking Giggles to one nap a day. But as the youngest child, she is bound by the schedules of the older 2. I made some progress on this topic today too! I am going to write about it soon. Thanks for the reminder.

As a Gramma who just sang silly songs at the top of my lungs to keep sweet girl awake until we got home for that long afternoon nap I can so relate. We have also just made the two into one and I want the one to be a long one so I can run around like a crazy woman and cook and clean or sit here and visit blogs, like today. Great post.
