A CHANGE IS GONNA COME

For the past 4 days now Adlay has been sleeping much later than usual in the mornings. Normally she is up by 7:30 at the latest. Now it’s more like 9. I am so not complaining about this but rather wondering what to do with it. Because of this early rising she has been taking only one nap a day, after lunch and for like an hour and a half. Is this how she is going to transition from 2 naps a day to 1?

I have heard all different things from all different people. Some say she will do it on her own, others say I need to guide her into the 1 daily nap. The thing is I am not sure I want her to go to one nap. I liked the morning nap because that was my time to take a shower, do the dishes or some laundry or go back to sleep myself. Now I am having to get up before her and do all this stuff because you might not know this but it is impossible to shower, laundry, wash dishes, breathe do much of anything whilst a 16 month old is awake.

Not to mention in the coming days, that’s right days people, we will be moving. I am sure that will disrupt her sleep patterns like a freight train. Plus she will be starting swimming lessons in a few weeks and if this continues she will have to be woken to eat breakfast and get to said lessons, so there is another wrench in this new sleeping situation.

So do I wake her up or let her sleep in? Then what happens when we need to go somewhere in the mornings? I am at a loss. Mommies help me out here. What did you do with yours once they started showing signs of changing their nap schedule? Advice people…..
