Typically Kirsty's day is:
6/6:30am: wake up
noon-ish: nap for 1.5hrs
7/7:30pm: bedtime
Usually she may take up to 20mins to fall asleep at naptime and pretty quick at bedtime, like 10mins or less.
Lately she is in her cot for an hour or more at "naptime" before she falls asleep, and it involves a lot of her throwing her nankie (comfort blanket) and dummy out as she knows I have to go back up and give them back (she wont fall asleep without them). She threw her dummy a while ago so I went in and just said "no dummy, you threw it away" and came away and left her for 5mins without. Went back and gave it back to her and she hasn't thrown it since. However she is still awake!
This has been going on for a while, initially I cut her nap back to 1.5hrs as it used to be 2hrs and that helped for a bit. but this is just a joke now. I'm done with fighting naptime. She can't cope without a nap though. If she doesn't nap, she's a terror by 3pm. WWYD? Push it forward and shorten again or just cut it out all together and try to muckle through with horrid days until she *hopefully* learns to cope??
Hey Fiona. I just answered your question on my pattern, over at my blog. but basically, the 4 dc are in one stitch. Hope it is working out for you!
