OT Peacful afternoon!

So what did you do?? Any sewing

Dee in Oz ,,,,, where it is COLD and WINDY, even had a tree blow down across the road........

I've always thought that people make too much of decorating a baby's room, too stimulating. When my son was born, I didn't do anything special to his room besides a cozy bed with a few critters. He had black out curtains too. He slept through the night very early on and late into the morning, and his naps were at least 3 hours each afternoon until he started first grade. He was an only child and I never left him in his bedroom to play. The play room with all of the fun and stimulating items was downstairs where I could supervise. When he went to his room, he knew it was to sleep., there were no toys up there. He never had any "going to bed" issues, ever.

When he was around 6, he was moved to a new, larger room, and was in charge of choosing all of the fun stuff to go into his big boy playroom/bedroom.

Black out curtains are great.

I sat and relaxed and did some online research on booster seats. Today will be a test, it's windy here as well probably not as windy as where you are though.

Some kids just don't sleep. I didn't do anything special to my boys' room -- most of them slept through the night early and took nice long afternoon naps until they were 3 or 4, but one of them didn't sleep through the night until he was nearly 3 years old and stopped napping by the time he was two. I'm pretty convinced that the decoration level of their rooms wouldn't have made any difference at all.

I agree with ya rose - My oldest (now 5!) has always been terrible about sleeping. Still is...doesn't seem to matter what I do.

He didn't nap till late yesterday, but then it's been windy and that usually disturbs him a bit anyway.
