Obligatory New Year's Resolutions post, one day late
But first, a cute thing my kid did this morning. He was setting up the world's largest drum set using all of the pans from his play stove, his actual drum, zills, xylophone, and snack bowls. I was in the dining room dismantling one of our small Christmas trees when I hear him say: "One, two, three, four, five drums! Good job counting Henry...good job counting Henry!" It was seriously cute.
Now for the resolutions:
1. Spend less time on the internet. Aside from the blogs I really enjoy reading, all it's been giving me lately are lost hours I'll never get back and serious eye strain.
2. Continue losing weight by changing my diet, instead of dieting. That includes the six pounds I gained over Christmas, 1.5 of which is already gone. Shazah!
3. Talk to my doctor about my anxiety issues. It's long overdue.
4. Get Henry's schedule shifted back an hour. Right now he gets up around nine, goes down for a nap around 2:30, gets up around 5 or 5:30, goes to bed around 9. Now that he's old enough to be able to add a bit of finesse to his procrastination game, I have a feeling we could easily get sucked into a truly horrendous schedule. Also included in this resolution is my having to come to terms with the fact that Henry is probably over the need for a three hour nap. Two hours is enough. I'm going to continue to nurture my denial that his nap will be getting shorter and shorter over the next year.
5. Drink more water.
I think that about covers the main stuff. Maybe at the end of June I'll make some middle-of-the-year resolutions, depending on where things stand with the ones listed above.

My two cents would be to let Hank decide how long his nap should be. If he is sleeping three hours and still going to bed at night, I'd leave it at that. Now that Madelyn is three, she is sometimes not napping at all. I am at a stage where I do get her up after two hours,(when she naps) but only because she is taking longer to fall asleep. Relish in the glorious three hour nap time. Before you know it he wont be napping at all. Life isn't fair.
