[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did he do this before you dropped the nap? [/quote] Not at all. [/quote] NP. We went through this with our toddler. Turns out, getting dressed signaled to him the start of leaving us for the day, and he was going through a little bit of separation anxiety. We started to slow everything down. Extra cuddles, etc. I like the PPs' suggestions of cutting down morning decisionmaking, like either dressing him in next day's clothes for bed, or having an outfit already picked out. If your kid is talking, could you ask him what he's feeling? And figure out what need underlies that feeling? It may sound like coddling to some, but we realized our kid needed some more connection in the morning. And that was it. The phase passed. I wonder if yours is feeling that need as well - you may be doing everything as usual, but he may be having big feelings about the little sibling coming along (and/or the end of naptime). Good luck to you![/quote]
