So yesterday ae and I had a very busy day. We were doing some running around for DeAnn's shower. I knew we would be out and about most of the morning. So, I had already decided that I wouldn't stress about naptime today. I just knew that at some point that ae would fall asleep in the car, which would mean that she wouldn't sleep once we got home. And for this one day, I was okay with that. I didn't want to fight anymore.
We did our running around. We returned home around 12:00. She only dozed off for a brief minute on our way home. We ate lunch, and I told her..."Okay, Autumn it's time for a nap." Oh course, she said, " No, wait Momma." When she says wait, she sticks her hand out as to say STOP.
But we went to the couch, I held her close to me and rocked for about 3 minutes and SHE WAS OUT!!! She even let me put her in her bed without waking up. I know it's not the best way to get her to sleep. I know it would be better for her to fall asleep on her on, in her bed...But who cares! If this way worked for us, then Praise God...she slept!!!
It was the best feeling in the world! I was so excited. We found a bit of success!!! I turned the ringer off on the phone. I did some laundry. I cleaned the kitchen and the living room. It was beautiful!!!
So, thank you God for the small blessings!!!

Danielle,
Funny that I checked your blog today and read about the nap struggles when this was a day that took 3 HOURS to get Carter to take a nap. ARRGG! I can share in your frustration. He naps beautifully at school, or even at my mom's house...but no dice here! We should get together to chat...even if for no other reason that to console one another! :)
I just keep trying to remember famous words of my mother, "This too shall pass." And there will come a day that we'll look back on this time with longing...Longing for the time to snuggle, rock, read, and sing them to sleep...
With love and prayers,
Sarah
