Nap Issues...Again

Gosh I am having a heck of a time with E and his naps these last few days. Right now he won't go to sleep and he's quite upset and making himself throw up. Blueberry smoothie yack. Lovely. I know if he really doesn't "need" the naps I will give up on them but the kid is such a grump with minimal sleep. His nighttime sleeps certainly aren't sufficient. It's frustrating. I hate getting into ruts where I have to help him fall asleep for his nap but I can't have him puking like that. Argh!

Well, onto not so frustrating things...my longtime friend Tonya is coming to hang out at our house this afternoon. She's one of the high school reunion pals, remember? She's never been up to our home and we don't get to see each other too often. In fact, until the reunion weekend it had been 3 years since we'd seen one another. We don't live that far apart.

After Tonya's visit my mom will be coming for the weekend. Lauren is no longer coming. She got invited to go away with a friend. So she is. And Gramoo's on her own. My mom is spending tonight as sort of a "practice" night to let E see her around in the mornings and so she can sort of see what our mornings 'round here look like. They've got the bedtime part of his routine figured out but she hasn't been here in the morning time before. Then tomorrow we're off for our getaway. Eek! I'm looking forward to it and I know Gramoo and E will do fine. She's got all sorts of fun plans and activities for them.

Okay, E's still not down...he's not making himself hurl so that's a plus but this is getting crazy. I'm all for changing the time of his nap if he would give me some clues as to what time that should be. He just keeps laying in there for, like, an hour no matter when I put him down. I should go...
