This is a dangerous thing to put out into the universe because it increases the likelihood that it will all go to pot, but while my parents were here we seem to have managed to get Holly on a pretty reliable schedule. The problem leading up to this point was that I didn't have the gumption to keep her up a little bit longer between naps than I normally would, what with the active four year old and the general desire to dive into bed any chance I could get, and also craziness of the growth spurt she just went through. Now that she's settled back down into a normal eating routine as opposed to the insane, non-stop gnoshing that was last week, and with the added bonus of having three of us there to keep her occupied, it was a snap. Right now she takes three naps, two long ones during the morning and early afternoon, and a short evening nap. It's fantastic. When Henry was Holly's age, his sleeping habits were all over the place: not much napping, especially not in his bed, and getting up every one to two hours at night. In fact, that's exactly why it took us so long to decide to have another kid; we had no desire to go through that again.

Anyway, the universe can go ahead and kick me in the butt now.
