This cute little guy has a problem. While he sleeps great in his crib at night, he doesn't like to take naps unless he is in constant motion. I noticed that he sleeps really well on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday when I'm out running kids around. He loves to sleep in the car. On Monday & Friday when we generally stay home, he is SO restless! He sleeps for about 10-20 minutes at a time. Once his Binky falls out, his fury awakens, as does he. I was getting rather frustrated since both of my other kids were great nappers. It has been difficult to get anything done during those short cat naps. That is also not enough time for me to recharge my mommy batteries! Enter "The Swing". I was resisting the urge to use it for nap time. I don't like to rely on crutches for getting kids to sleep (except for the Binky). I want them to learn to do it on their own. Unfortunately, my patience in this matter has depleted. You won the standoff Adam! Congrats to a worthy competitor! Now we are both happy! It is a different experience for me to tuck him into his swing at nap time. He loves it and I love the break!
