So, we have two kids and have failed at nap training both of them. Not a good track record. Our first child, Lion, has never been a particularly good sleeper during the day or night, though that might have been our fault (more on that in a separate post). Panda has been so different than […]

Jackson has always been a fantastic sleeper. He started sleeping through the night at 5 weeks old, never got hit super hard by any of the major regressions, and has been a champion napper since day one. Until a few weeks ago. We are officially in the throes of the 2-year nap regression. Over spring break […]

I hesitate to even write about T’s sleep yet, as the superstitious side of me says, “Don’t do it!
