The 15mo twins have been having a really hard time with one nap per day. Groughy, whiney, fighting, and ready for bed at 7:00 at home.
So yesterday, when they started fussing at 9:45 or so, I laid them down and they both went to sleep. yeah...then, when I laid everyone down at 2:00, they all went to sleep. I had to wake everyone up at 4:30 for diapers, snack, and pick up. My own kids loved it, because when they came home from school at 3:45, they had me to themselves for a few minutes. I thought, Bingo! I will just do the whole thing 1/2 hour earlier today, to have a little more time to get everyone ready for pickup, and so I won't have to wake the sleeping ones.
Today....
Put the twins down at 9, they slept until 10, when I made enough noise to wake them up.
Put the twins down at 1:30. It is now 2:20, and they have both trashed their beds (throwing out their blankets and pillows), and aren't sleeping.
I have no more rooms available, so I cannot seperate them. If I get them up, it gives them the wrong message. Technically, I am supposed to get them up after 1/2 hour! If I do that, there will be no time left for nap again!
