For some reason Courtney has never been one to want to nap. I guess we don't really learn to value our sleep enough until we are old and have too many responsibilities and can't get as much as we might like. I thought I had hit the baby jackpot when I got Courtney. For the first couple of months she slept more than most babies her age. She would go for 4 hour stretches in the first few weeks. Then was sleeping up to around 7 hours a stretch by month 3. I am not sure when exactly it all went downhill, but downhill it went starting at about 4 months. We tried sleep training. I read numerous books. All really to not much avail. Now she is down to waking up usually once per night, which I can live with but unfortunately the better sleeping at night has pretty much ruined her ability to nap. Even when I know she is so tired she will sit and play, talk, complain, etc. When I finally go in to get her (sometimes after over an hour of entertaining herself and/or complaining) she is happy as a clam. I guess I will just try to be happy that I have a pretty content kid even if she doesn't sleep like she should.
Who? Me?
Now this takes skill...
I don't think I look tired
