Starting today we are going to 1 nap. The kids have been going to sleep later and later for their morning nap which is pushing everything back. We are hoping to get them on an earlier schedule so they go to sleep by 8:30 at the latest. I've been hesitant to do this as I need that morning nap to get ready for work and I shower during the late afternoon nap. But, the benefits to the new schedule are that we can get them to bed earlier and Kevin can hopefully get a good nap with them. More sleep for everybody!
Also, we will be getting rid of the nighttime bottle. We'll replace it with a sippy cup for the time being and eventually get them to drink milk awhile before bed and into their beds to fall asleep. This will be very difficult. 1 step at a time!
New Schedule:
8:00- Breakfast
10:00- Snack
11:30- Lunch
1:00- Nap
4:00- Snack
6:30- Dinner
8:00- Bath, Story
8:30- Bedtime
* Update.... Nap schedule isn't going well. They've finally sort of adjusted at 17 months but only nap 2 hours and wake up SUPER early. Plus they don't go to bed early like we hoped. Also, Kinsley is still falling asleep at lunch around 11:30.
