No Nap!!

So we started this week with no naps anymore. Yesterday was crazy and today seems to be even crazier still. Malachi has spent more time in timeout these last two days than he has his whole life I swear. It's been really trying.
The reward was that Malachi fell asleep last night at 830pm and didn't get up this morning til 730am. He seemed to be brighter and cheerier even if I couldn't stay awake. I got to watch a show that I really liked last night. I can't remember the last time I did that. I even treated myself to a Rootbeer float for sticking to it.
Malachi's in timeout right now as I type this... Send prayers and good thoughts that we'll make it through the week.
Next week I should be in Idaho and will have a little more help in the evenings to keep him awake.
I will be so thankful when Sean gets home. I miss him every day and I know Malachi does too.

I know it's hard to cut out nap time, Marryne never had a problem with it she just stopped, Kaleb on the other hand has been very trying, he does good on most days. I have found a few things that help to keep Kaleb awake on his bad days, he loves to wash dishes with soap, so I feel the sink with a little water and "bubbles" throw in a couple of measuring cups it keeps him busy for at least and hr, the other thing is letting him take a shower or a bath, he loves the shower and even though I only let him be in there for 10 mins, it wakes him up so he is usually good until bed time. Hope that helps hang in there.:)
