Lesson We are Transitioning to one nap. After waking up at 6:00, today was a two day nap. Morning no problem. Afternoon was a struggle. In the midst of cajoling the wee one to sleep, i felt anxiety creeping into my being. Really tendrils of stress crawling up my arms and back as I began to worry, what if? what if we don't nap, he will be a wreck by 6:00, and my afternoon will be hell. I caught myself. Worry about an unknown future? What is the use? Concentrate on now. You know he is tired. Don't give up. Be patient and he will fall asleep. Breathe. I calm down, the tendrils disappear, and he's asleep in ten. I swear he can sense my stress, like we are connected).
