Catching some zzzzzzs...

At home Jackson takes two naps a day, one in the morning and another in the afternoon. It breaks up the day nicely for us, and allows an opportunity to get a few chores done around the house.

At school, Jackson is too interested in what his friends are doing to fall fast asleep in a room with the lights on and 10 other toddlers running around. In the last few months we've been noticing that this has become a problem. After three nap-free days in childcare my little gem is a bear, crabbby as can be. It only takes a day to get him straightened out again, but the third evening is rough!

This week, Krystal, Jackson's teacher, tried a new approach. Instead of transferring him to a crib when he was sleeping she has been getting him to lay on a cot at school and fall asleep! I don't know how she does it, but yesterday he took almost a two hour nap. Yay! My little boy, a big guy, napping on a cot like the other toddlers do. I'm a proud mama.
