Reprogramming, continued...
So far the results have been varied. SP goes to sleep without any problems, but her waking up time has been all over the place. Maybe this is to be expected. I'm still hoping that by Sunday Sweet Pea will be sleeping for ten hours, from 9:oo pm to 7:00 am. Or there abouts.
Here are the results from the switch:
- Fri to Sat 9:00 pm to 6:00 am
- Sat - Sun 9:00 pm to 5:15 am
- Sun - Mon 8:00 pm to 6:45 am
- Mon-Tues: 9:00 pm to 6:50 am
Okay, so for the last two mornings SP's trend is looking good. I'm not sure if it's the later bedtime, shorter naps during the day (two 1 to 1&1/2-hour naps instead of two 2-hour naps), or it's just that SP is growing up.
In other news...
We finally set up the fishtank that's been sitting empty in the basement for the last two years after my beloved beta died. Since SP loves to visit the fish department at Meijer when we go to do our weekly grocery shopping, K and I decided it was time she got her own. Yesterday we got two lovely platys, one I can't remember, and one bottom feeder. So far SP has been content to sit and watch the "ish" get acquainted with their new home.
Tonight we will be carving our Halloween pumpkin. I think we'll make it a hooty owl. We'll see.
And that's about it for now. Hope your week is going well.

Have you thought about trying to move her to 1 nap/day? Gradually push the morning one back to right before lunch (give her a hearty snack in the mid-morning), and then gradually move it to the early afternoon right after lunch (while also either forgoing the afternoon nap in favor of an earlier bedime, or giving her quick cat nap of 45 minutes or so). She should give you a good 2 hours eventually, and that should help substantially at night. If I'm remembering correctly, she's about 18 months old, give or take, right? That's about the right time to drop a nap.

I have thought about it, but I thought that since she is taking 2 naps that she wasn't ready for that yet. I didn't realize that I had to be the one to move her in that direction.
I will definitely try what you've suggested. Actually, since we're bumping everything back this week to get ready for the time change, her 1st nap is right before lunch, and it's working out well. Her second is between 3 and 4, but I've only let her sleep for an hour for that one.
Thanks so much for the advice!!
