Well we have learned that lesson, that's for sure! Here I was looking forward to the 1st Father's Day and unfortunately it turned out to be a horrible day for our little guy. It all started when we woke him up from his morning nap to go to my parent's house. HUGE MISTAKE! He seemed pretty ok at first, but slowly his mood began to change. Kinda like the Hulk when he's angry. I am actually surprised he didn't start turning green!! Anyway, after watching some Baby Einstein for a while he started crying for his bottle. So Nonna fed him and his crying wouldn't stop. Auntie Debbie finally got him to quiet down and brought him downstairs in the basement...the coolest part of the house. My mom had the air conditioner off so it was a little hot in the house...not a good thing for my little guy. Anyway, Auntie got him to fall asleep. Unfortunately, we couldn't let him sleep and make another HUGE mistake of waking him up (after about 10 minutes of napping) to go to my brother in-law's house. Well, from having nap #2 broken on top of nap #1 Jayden was not a happy camper! He ended up crying the majority of the time that we were there. We would take him for little walks which would calm him down briefly, but then he would start crying again. At one point he fell asleep for a little while, but woke up and started crying again. It finally got to the point where we decided it was best for us to go home. So we ended up leaving the party early. Uncle Scott and Auntie Debbi sent us home with some food - thank you so much! We got home, fed Jayden and he fell fast asleep and slept from about 9 until 5 am!! He was such a tired little boy! At least we learned something from this experience. We now know to definitely NOT wake up our little guy to do anything! LET HIM SLEEP!! From now on we base our days on HIS schedule. We will NEVER wake our little guy to do anything again!
I will have to say that was probably the worst we've had it with Jayden. He is actually a very good little boy. He is happy for the most part. Especially in the morning. He definitely takes after his daddy and he is 100% a morning person...nothing like his mommy! As far as his sleep schedule goes, he pretty much sleeps through the night. For example, he went to sleep at about 9 last night and didn't wake up until 4:30 this morning! Now he has been napping since 8:30 am and it is 1:00 pm!!! I guess that means he is a growing boy! I actually told Jeff that it looks like he did grow over night. He looks bigger to me and his hair looks longer and thicker. It's amazing!
Well, tomorrow we are supposed to spend the day with Sandy, Jake and Gina. Of course we will be following Jayden's schedule. I am praying that we have a good day!!!
Well...he's up! Time to go make that bottle. We don't want the Hulk to show up!!!

I'm so glad you're updating the blog! J is absolutely adorable! :)
I'm so glad he's sleeping for you - that was a huge issue/stress for us when Bubba was that age. Pretty Girl is a good sleeper, though - thank god.
I'm totally one of those moms that arranges everything around naps - both of them nap at the same time, and I don't jack with it. There's nothing worse than a cranky baby - so I have no problem telling people we'll be late because we have to wait for the kids to wake up! :)
Thanks! :)
Actually he is napping right now. I'm being patient and waiting for him to get up. We have a "playdate" to get to, but I told my friend that I'm not going anywhere until he gets up! I don't want to deal with a crabby butt today! He's been sleeping since around 8:15 and it's 11:42!!!! It's CRAZY! But good!
