I figured I would put this here instead of the Baby Lounge since you girls are the experts. Let's just say that I need a break for 2 days a week in the mornings and I have been checking out the Mother's morning out programs around here. Ryan is still at 2 naps a day around 9:30 and 1:30 and each averages an hour to an hour and a half pretty reliably. He is up between 5-6:30 am (huge range lately for some reason despite same bedtime and no teething going on) and goes down between 7- 7:30 pm every night. The days he has slept late meaning until 6:30 or the rare 7 am, I have tried for one nap around lunch but he normally needs it a little earlier.

My big question is how can I encourage, force, adjust his nap schedule? I feel guilty for even thinking about it since it goes against my whole belief of letting him lead the natural rhythm of his own body clock, but I am worn out. I know it's because he is an energetic toddler and I am entering month 7 of pregnancy, but I am dying!!!! I don't mean to sound like a whiner but I think I need this for my sanity.

The programs seem to all start around 8:45 and end at noon, btw.

TIA. :)
