At co-op yesterday, I questioned (okay, whined and complained to) anyone who would listen. I heard advice from one end of the spectrum to another.  “Just keep holding him.”  “He’s spoiled, let him cry it out.”  “Lay with him.”  “Carry him in a sling.”……I took ALL the ideas and decided to go through them one at a time until I could find SOMETHING to work.  Well – I really hope I’m not jinxing myself here – the first one I tried may actually have worked!!

After he goes to sleep in my arms, I’ve been placing him on a mat on the floor (go figure?) in my bedroom and turning the bathroom fan on.  It’s only 3:00pm and he’s taken 3 half-hour naps already today.  I realize that’s still not great for naps, but I’ll take what I can get at this point!!  I’ve actually done housework AND school today!!  Thank you, Lord (and whoever mentioned the idea at co-op.)
