Well, today I broke down and went back to 2 naps a day. We gave it a valiant effort, but the kids just weren't switching. I know it takes about 3 weeks for them to change their schedule and we've only given this 2 weeks, but I just don't think they were ready. Last week was rough and they were only napping 1-1/2 hours, maybe 2 if I was lucky. Yesterday the kids slept in, which mine NEVER do!!! Abby woke up a little after 9 and I finally woke Jake up at 9:30. That was it. They were too exhausted. They also haven't been sleeping well; waking up crying throughout the night. Although I did anticipate that (it happened last time we went from 3 naps to 2).
Today, everyone was MUCH happier. I didn't know if they'd go down for their morning nap since they weren't used to going down anymore and they really weren't acting tired. But after about 30 minutes of playing in their crib, they fell asleep and slept until noon. They only napped for about 15 or 20 minutes this afternoon (b/c we had a play date at 4:45), but even that short catnap did wonders. They've been little angels all day. We are all three much happier.
