For about a month or so Andrew has been fighting naps. He has always been a great sleeper, napping 2-3 hours in the afternoon. Around 3 we started shortening his naps because he was having a hard time going to bed at night. We'd put him to bed at 8 and he'd stay awake until 10 or 11 at night. When he doesn't get sleep he has a lot of night terrors and sleeps horrible at night. So it's been a huge battle in our house for several months. About twice a week he would take a nap and the rest of the time he would come downstairs every 15 minutes during nap time. On the days he didn't nap he would fall asleep on our way to dinner or anytime we'd get in the car at night. Just a short nap at that time of night and he'd stay awake until 10 or 11 at night. Since Christmas break he has not taken 1 nap. I am not ready for the nap to go away, but it looks like it's happening. He now has "rest" time but still fights it and comes out of his room frequently. He still seems really tired and could use a nap, but he continues to not take one. He's been sleeping until 8:30/9 every morning so we'll see if once school starts he'll start taking a nap again. Here's to hoping!
