Naps for Baby are tricky because he's teething (sleeps poorly) and his naps are transitioning from 3 to 2. He never takes a long nap, either, so if he misses one he just has to go to bed early (like 6:30pm early). When I get him to bed early on those days, he wakes up after 6:30am, which is good. When I don't... especially if it's been too long between last nap and bed time, then he gets night terrors (which are heart breaking) AND wakes up between 5 and 5:30am. That's rough on both of us, so I try really hard to get him to bed on time or at least not too far from it. Didn't happen last night, but I was closer tonight (though still probably too late). He had a little mini nightmare before I put him down for the night... I'm hoping that is not a sign of things to come and maybe that's all the night terror he's going to have.
Tonight, I'm hoping I can get some food ready for tomorrow and have a shower before I need to be in bed. I've got about an hour left and won't be able to shower until roughly my bed time because it's easiest/best to do right after feeding Baby and he probably won't eat again until my bed time. I'm listening to a favorite movie while I get things done. Today feels better than last in a few ways so far. I've already gotten more done AND gotten Baby to bed a little closer to when he needed it. So... here's hoping.
