Church Nursery Workers :-(

Sunday has become the worst day of the week in keeping Andrew on his schedule. Yesterday was the first time that he went to the 1 year old nursery at church. (WOW, its weird to say that he is in the 1 year old nursery!) I told them that he still takes a morning nap and that he needs to lay down at 11:15 so that he can sleep for an hour, even 45 minutes would be good! Ben & I go in there to pick him up at 12:15, and guess who is not sleeping, Andrew. I asked her if he took a nap and she said 'no, he showed no signs of being sleepy'. This drives me crazy, just lay the baby down for a nap, he will go to sleep. When Andrew doesn't get at least some sleep in the late morning, it makes for an unpleasant day. He will take an afternoon nap, but it isn't long enough and he wakes up crying and upset - because he is still tired. He then is grumpy the rest of the evening. I don't know why the church nursery workers don't understand this, they all have or have had kids at one time or another. I think I might have to insist that they lay him down next week.
Ben & I were the church nursery workers last night for the 1 years olds. This was the first time that we had Andrew in there. I really didn't know what to expect. He was actually better than I thought. There were 3 other boys in there. They were all about to turn two this month, so there was quite an age difference between Andrew and them. Andrew did well, considering the nap situation, and that they were so much bigger than him.
