However. Nap times have been getting a bit more challenging - there are just too many fun things to do in the world outside of his bedroom - why would he willingly waste a few hours there sleeping?! He has, though, been enjoying helping me to build tents out of large sheets and dining room chairs - so one day, I thought, why not make his crib into a tent?! *Disclaimer: my son is over two years old likes to sleep with his stuffed sheep on his face, so I have no concerns about a sheet suffocating him. If you are not comfortable with this, don't do it for your child!*
I am happy to say that it worked like a charm. No only does it get him into his bed willingly, it also keeps him there longer, because the tent makes the room a bit darker for him (he sleeps longer!), and it is so fun to wake up in a tent - so he plays in it after waking up, instead of just crying! Win-Win-Win!!
See? Happy to be going down for a nap! |
So cute! Our boys would have loved it!
