To my surprise and relief, no problems putting the Zoodle to bed tonight. We were back to our usual routine of NOM...*conk*. And this despite a 3h nap this afternoon. Well, colour me baffled. Maybe her teeth have been bothering her.
We seem to have hit on a naptime routine, too. I was astonished to discover a little while ago that with a soother and blanket she fell asleep while we lay on the futon bed in the project room reading books. I even found this result repeatable. Today we didn't even get to reading the books, she just stared/grabbed at one of the cats for a while and dozed off pretty quickly. My presence seems to be key, but that's OK because I can extricate myself without difficulty once she's asleep. I imagine this will eventually get to be untenable, if only because a daycare provider won't be able to lie down beside her for 15 minutes, but frankly I can't deal with the prospect of sleep training twice in a day, so I'll put it off till later, and we'll see how long this lasts.
