five naps. FIVE!

I may not have posted about sleep in a while, but Paige had almost completely stopped napping. She would have 1 nap a week on average, and the day that she napped she would go to bed for the evening at 10:00.

She must be growing though because last week she had 5 naps, and she has slept for 2 out of 3 days this week so far. Her night time sleeps have been pretty good as well.

I decided to start to phase out the "num num". I have heard cold turkey is best, but Paige relied on not only one in the mouth, but also 1 in the hand for comfort. I figured getting rid of the one in the hand was the first step. We were at Bath and Body Works yesterday and she liked the looks of a very fluffy sheep stuffed animal. I asked her if she would like it to be her friend in her crib. She said yes. So I told her she would have it instead of the second num num and she could hug it. Yesterday's nap came around and she asked for "secondary num num", and I reminded her to hug the sheep. She was fine and fell asleep. Last night, same thing and she was again, fine. She used to hug her stuffed Abby, but after seeing the real Abby again recently, she hasn't relied on her so much. It was probably good to introduce something new in this case. Maybe we'll stop the num nums on the weekend, I don't know. So stressful.
