marygracerich that sucks! The woman definitely should have told you. I know it differs by cruise line so you could potentially go on another line for G's birthday but I am sure you probably are wanting the Disney experience. I am definitely sticking with Disney. This will be our 4th Disney cruise. They are expensive but worth every penny. I have been on Norwegian as well and I don't like it nearly as much. I am going to have to make another plan for G's birthday. 😕

I got a bit sad this afternoon. Sometimes DS still likes to nap on my lap and I usually nap, too, and when baby #2 comes that special nap time will likely not happen. My mom and MIL have been telling me to stop him right now, for good. I cry when I think about it. He doesn't nap on me everyday but he's wanted to the past couple weeks. My biggest fear is how my relationship with DS will change when I have a newborn to care for.

dragonflyinn I meant to respond to your post about C sharing on the M15 thread, but since I'm trying to post more here I'll respond here We just got back from a week on vacation with H's whole family, including 3 other 2yr olds of his cousins. N has never been a grabby/possessive kid until this past week when each 2 year old was all "mine mine mine!" And ripping EVERYTHING out of her hands. She used to just sit back and let it happen but homegirl put up a fight. And now that we're home, she grabs everything. Even out of my hands. It is driving me crazy. We are working on sharing big time here too. She'll yell to me "momma share! Share! Share!" If I'm not giving her something 😂 So something is clicking!

marygracerich that sucks about the cruise for G's birthday if it makes you feel any better, she'll probably still be too young to notice the difference in timing that it's much later after her bday. I wouldn't stress about it. I'd def be bummed tho.

DS1 will be 5 soon and still naps 1.5-3 hours probably 5 times a week. If he doesn't nap I make him stay in his room with only books in his bed until 3. He sometimes will doze off. I think if you still reinforce quiet time and it's on their room it helps give you the desired effect even if they arent sleeping. I'll add that he wakes around 6 every day. I think the nap will naturally stop over this 4 year old pre school year but I'm holding strong on the quiet time in his room no matter what! Wow you are lucky with that napping! DS is only 16 months and the most I can get out of him is 1.5 hours. I'm just praying he'll nap til he's 3! He isn't a fan of naps. 🙄 To give you hope, this didn't start until he was older than your DS. He was still taking 2 naps (short, crappy ones, 40 mins each) until 18 months. About 3 months into his 1 nap live he magically "got it" and it's been good ever since.

I'm glad it's not just my kid. She used to just sit and let it happen too, but now she will cry and call for me bc "so and so took my doll!!!" Or whatever it is the other kid is playing with. I'm hoping she grows out of it and #2 will help haha. She even wanted all the baby's toys today which was so weird bc we don't even have them packed up, they're in a bucket in her playroom so she could play with them whenever she wants.

Lol my little guy will be 3 in December and most days takes 3 hour naps.

Although if he wants to sleep in later in the morning instead, I'm fine with short-ish naps!

I enjoy it too much.

I wouldn't stress about it. I'd def be bummed tho. I'm not stressed so much as sad. I was so excited for us to do everything for her birthday then. I am sure I still could and she wouldn't notice but I would and my hormones right now are not letting that go.

I'll be honest... ds and I slept most of the day LOL Even when he's sick, DS will never consider sleeping most of the day. After not wanting to sleep ever as a newborn DS has developed an enjoyment for sleep. Last night (well since it's morning I guess night before last) he was up every hour or two with his teeth despite Motrin so I thought m it made him super worn out. He woke up late (almost 9) and then we napped for 3+ hours 🙈 And then he still went to bed at his normal time. Luckily last night was a more normal night.

My biggest fear is how my relationship with DS will change when I have a newborn to care for. DS pretty much rebelled against sleeping on my lap starting around six months. It made me so sad and I was sad for a long time about it. But now with twins coming I guess it's for the best...
