Bring back the morning nap!

so, at daycare, since all the kids are over one year, they decided to forgo the morning naps! I am not sure about this. Since then, Spencer has gotten sick and just generally been in a grumpy mood. I have tried putting him to bed earlier but he isn't having it.

We tried it ourselves over the weekend and he did good on Saturday-because he slept about 3-3 1/2 hrs in the afternoon. But Sunday, he fell asleep in the church nursery (for about 5 minutes before everyone started coming to pick their kids up) and only took a short nap in the afternoon. Now, at school, he sleeps about 1 1/2 hrs in the afternoon-IT IS NOT ENOUGH!

Don't know what to do other than just let him get used to the routine and hopefully work it out himself. I just hope we can get through this.

Also, because he was home with me for about 3 weeks, with just about 3 days of daycare in the middle, he has a MAJOR mommy complex. He doesn't even want to walk up the stairs to the daycare (which is usually his favorite thing to do). He won't let go of me when we go in the room, and basically is just pitiful when i leave. We just need to get back on our normal routine-well, normal but without morning naps, i guess!

But, on the upside, we got free coffee and hot chocolate today from the daycare, so that's something. We love our daycare, especially since i work about one building over (in the church that sponsors the daycare), and can go see him all the time...if he didn't cry when i leave. But they are a great group of teachers and do a great job with all the little boys and girls in there! Thanks, EEC, for caring for my guy!
