[quote=Anonymous]Another idea, if possible: can you be out and about with the toddler leading up to nap time? Spend the early hours at home, then as nap time approaches take him for a long walk to a park or library, etc. You can pack up a lunch (or snack) to take with you and call it a picnic. Then, don't come home until just before you plan to take him upstairs for nap, so you can do the reminding (when we get home, in about ten minutes, we're going straight to your room for nap time..) while you're walking home. If you're worried about him falling asleep on the walk home you can have him walk/help push the stroller, or bring some exciting toys to play with or a special snack for him to eat in the stroller on the walk home so he doesn't pass out. My last job involved some of the dynamic you mention (2.5 year old boy, MB home on mat leave with baby), and getting him out of the house, especially during the time when he is most trying (right before nap time) just made everything so much easier. Good luck. [/quote]
