Aaron hasn’t taken a nap in the past 2 days. Yesterday, he fell asleep in the car for about 10 minutes according to Alicia and Meri. Last night, he went to bed 30 minutes early but he could have gone to bed about an hour and a half early. I miss the boy that was so happy about seeing daddy come home. Instead I get a cranky, over-tired child who just runs up to me and starts crying! Aaron just does not sleep enough at night (10 hours) to warrant him trying to skip his naps during the day. We went from him sleeping anywhere from 1 to 2 hours during a typical nap (with a very odd high of 4 hours once recently!) to about 10 minutes in a given day. That’s a huge change.

I believe that we are going to have Jen watch Aaron during the day and put him in our church’s mothers day out (MDO) program twice a week instead of having to put him in a home day care. I think that is going to be a very good decision for Aaron and for us. He will get interaction with other kids via the MDO program and then also get the one on one care that I love for him to receive. Financially, i believe it will cost us the same amount every month. Peace of daddy’s mind (in regards to care for Aaron anyway) is worth triple what we will be paying though.
