We had a great weekend this past weekend. We didn't do too much but it was full and fun. There was lots of family time but we also spent some fun time with some of our good friends. It is always nice to get re energized over the weekend for the week. And it looks like this week we will need that extra energy - a busy full week ahead!!
I thought I would share something that was going on with Ben these days. He has pretty much stopped taking naps. It is a very sad day!!! He has slowly been cutting them out over the past few months and last week he only took a nap one day. He does have "rest time" in his room for 1 1/2 hours or so. But even that has been cut short lately. He loves to watch Arthur on TV and he knows it comes on at 3 pm which is what time he can leave his room after rest time. So now he has started coming out of his room every 5 minutes and asking "Is it Arthur Time?" I say "No Ben go back to your room." We do this about 20 times each day. Oh so much fun!! The little guy still needs to be taking naps so he has not been pleasant at night! We have adjusted his schedule so he now goes to bed around 8 pm instead of 9 pm. I am hoping this is just a phase and that he will go back to taking a nap soon. Until then we will just have rest time until Arthur.

Hey Emily - praise the Lord that my boys are still taking naps! I have heard, however, that when they are too young to understand when they can come out of their rooms (after nap or in the morning), you could try putting a nite light in their room on a timer so that it either comes on or goes off when they can come out. Then you just have to teach them that when the light is on/off, you stay in your room, and when the light goes on/off you can come out. Worth trying to save yourself some sanity!
