The nap battle that is. The whole "baby will only nap in the car" thing is still going on, but now it's getting old. And very expensive. The amount of gas is takes per week to drive around, or idle in a parking lot, just for the sake of keeping Benjamin asleep has reached the ridiculous status. We fill up the car every six days in an average week and more often if we went somewhere over the weekend. This is not only a huge waste of money, but a terrible ecofail.
Besides that, I just can't get anything done. I can't clean the house, grocery shop, eat a proper lunch or do anything else besides read from the car while he's napping. It's time this ends because feeling like every minute of your day is being dictated by a very tiny person is not fun. So mommy is cracking the nap whip. I'm not quite sure what all that will entail, but it's time. Night time involves a routine which seems to be working well, so I'll probably start with a shorter modified version of that. And I'm prepared for the crying, because there will be some (or a lot) I'm sure. I wish it didn't have to be this way. For everyone who has kids that blissfully drift off to dreamland without a protest, count yourself lucky and try not to judge me because I hate Ferberization just as much as you do.
Desperate times and all that.
