Leah's recently decided to consolidate her naps. Oh joy. Now, I know I should be happy about this, especially since it frees up our day to some extent, but I'm having a difficult time adjusting. See, instead of taking one really LONG nap, Leah takes an average-length one (1.5 to maybe 2 hours), which means I have even less time to accomplish what I want to.
Because of this, I've decided to get up early. Ugh. I am NOT a morning person, so the idea of waking up before 7 is not appealing to me. However, I've realized that if I want to get everything done, then I have to sacrifice sleeping in. (I know that several of you who read this blog already get up early, and so I don't expect any sympathy from you.)
Some might be able to accomplish tasks while their little ones are awake, but Leah's at that stage where she doesn't want me to pay attention to anything other than her. I'm amazed by how busy she's become in just over a week's time. My goodness! She wears me out! Since she's not walking on her own yet, she needs my help to walk around the house. She flits from toy to toy, stopping in between to garner my attention. Where does she get all this energy?
Now I see why my stay-at-home mom friends try to pack their days with activities: they're trying to tire out their little ones! Who ever said this was an easy job?

14 months to 22 months was the hardest for me so far - consolidated naps, increased mobility and quest for independence combined with just enough instability to do some real damage to himself made for an exhausting few months. Hang in there!
