Well, it’s been a week since I last ‘blogged’. Where does the time go?!
A few weeks ago we decided to change the boys’ sleeping arrangements to make more room in their bedrooms.Zac (my 21 month old son) has decided he no longer wants to sleep during the day…. Kian (my 5 year old) & Lucas (my 3 year old) share a bedroom, so we got them bunk beds. They absolutely love them! This meant we could move Zac from his cot into Lucas’ old toddler bed (which is in the shape of a fire engine). ‘He’ll love it’ we thought, but in the back of our minds we knew we were taking a risk by moving him from the confines of his cot into a bed that he could get out of whenever he chose to! To our surprise, Zac only got out of his bed the first night & since then he’s been great going to bed & to sleep, with minimal fuss. The daytime naps, however, are a totally different story! We have always put Zac into his cot to have an afternoon nap (usually after lunch), but now we put him in his bed & he gets straight out & start playing with his toys. We leave him to it hoping he’ll get tired & have a little nap, but he hardly ever does that now. The problem is that at around 4pm he gets over tired & very cranky which means he falls asleep just before tea time & has to be woken up to eat, which he doesn’t appreciate at all! Luckily though, his night time sleeping pattern hasn’t been affected by any of this so he’s still going to bed & going to sleep fine at night! I am hoping that when Lucas starts nursery next week the extra walk to school at lunch time will have Zac out for the count – I live in hope! ?
