Pls read my journal entry for today. Did they remove my messages from your mailbox too?I have several confirmations that they are going to my friends' mail, and removing my personal e-mails! Good grief. I would not be surprised if they closed my account altogether. Please send me a personal e-mail address just in case!
Thanks
Thanks for the chocolate - I didn't know you could give those!
I had thought about teething, but he's never really been a great napper even without teething issues! We've at least been able to get back to him falling asleep pretty easily. I had to just decide to stay home for a few days in a row and get him back in the habit. I'm hoping now we can at least keep that going by making sure we're home for him to get at least one nap a day - I just don't see how I could stand not going anywhere with him to avoid having him fall asleep in the car! Yesterday he took a 30 minute morning and afternoon nap, and then we went shopping and he fell asleep in the car on the way home. I'm just still wrestling with whether or not I should tackle getting him to sleep longer than 30 minutes. My gut feeling is that he would be much happier by the end of the day if he would at least take one longer nap, but the other day he slept for 1 1/2 hours in the car at around noon and then wouldn't take another nap the rest of the day. He's a little "rough around the edges" by evening, but I'm not sure if he would be that way even with longer naps...if that's just how babies are! So, for now I'm going to be happy that he's at least back to taking 30 minute naps...and I'll see how I feel in a few more weeks!
