What is so bad about nap time? Seriously, I wish Brody could understand that he is not going to miss out on anything while he is napping. I sware he thinks that everyday when he is napping that I am having a huge party with big slides and ice cream. Reality is I am getting as much cleaning done as possible.. and I will be honest there have been those days that the boys have just worn me out and I am completely guilty of sitting on the couch starring at the wall just trying to relax before the chaos starts again.
I can't seem to figure out why he does not want to rest.. If I had an opportunity to take a nap I would be all over it. Everyday I put him down for a nap say a prayer, read a book, and listen to his excuses why he shouldn't be trying to fall asleep.. I have to go potty mommy, I want a snack, I'm not tired, I'm to hot, Rusty wants me to go throw the ball for him ( yes, he seriously used that excuse once.. good to know that Brody can talk to animals and understands what there needs and wants are.) Then you talk to other mom's that are like "William is such a great napper I have no problem getting him to sleep." When I hear that I am thinking to myself " what the heck am I doing wrong?"
I have tried so many different things and have taken so much advice from people. I have come to the conclusion that Brody just does not like going down for naps.. Period! Yes, he still needs a nap because if he doesn't then at about 4 pm he looks like a walking zombie and acts like one to! I am just going to have to live with the fact that he needs a little extra attention going down for a nap everyday! My children will never be perfect and I love them just they way they are!!
