Sleepless in the afternoon

Colin is waging a battle of the wills against us and the sitter. He is refusing to take a second nap. He has been moved to a pack and play at the sitters and he is revolting. I bring him home, and now he's revolting against the swing, once a surefire go-to. Nothing is working. I feel bad for him. He needs to sleep, but he refuses. It's starting to catch up with him. We're on our 5 day in a row of poor naps. His temperament is showing the sleep deprivation. It's like he's afraid he's going to miss something.

hmmmmmm. What time are his naps normally?

Amalie takes a nap at 9:30ish (sometimes) and one at 1:00ish. She recently dropped her 4:00 nap. She goes to bed at 6ish.

She has been known to just take 1 nap though. Those are such tough days.

For all her sleeps we put her down and turn on her crib-aquarium toy (read lifesaver).
