I swear she could tell time at 6 months! I'm always shocked at the moms who say "my child just stopped napping" all I can think is of course kids don't want to nap but YOU are the mom.

I blame it on the pregnancy hormones though this last time :)<br /><br />I have only had my mom babysit. My husband wants to find someone else in our area, but I just can't do it.<br /><br />Kyla isn't a slapper, but likes to throw things at me. She just got two timeouts the other day. One for throwing the remote at me and the other for throwing rocks at me.<br /><br />Love this post :)<br /><br />AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971948183565051243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-72165962320112335172012-07-03T18:30:45.159-04:002012-07-03T18:30:45.159-04:00How did you get her to only sleep in her crib??

But now that Kaylee has started school its been hard to keep her on her nap schedule at least for her summer program. But when she start school in the fall it will be back to their strick 12:30 nap. Keira has been hitting lately too and throwing which has landed her in lots of time outs too.<br /><br />Your a good mama and it shows in your daughter. Elli is just too cute for words! Neither of my girls have gotten hair cuts either. Kaylee is 3 and Keira is 19 months.

We have one for our six month old too and he is so content. I think that children respond well to routine in their lives. It gives them security knowing what's coming next.MammyPlusTwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12053028920985273924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-61848607378618139792012-07-03T10:06:44.279-04:002012-07-03T10:06:44.279-04:00Schedule = law.

All the power to parents who can get things done without a nap, but I know that I have certain times in the day when we can leave and certain times when we cannot! I am someone who thrives from a schedule and I think as a stay-at-home-mom implementing a schedule is something that keeps EVERYONE sane!Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16356633490954249660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-79028619821074818572012-07-03T09:54:27.400-04:002012-07-03T09:54:27.400-04:00We're pretty strict about a schedule too and m...We're pretty strict about a schedule too and my NOah is only 4 months!
