Hi, welcome to Big Fat Positive with Shana and Laura. This week we have our weekly check-ins. We have our special segment, What I Googled, where things get terrifying for a second. And we close with our BFPs and BFNs. Let's get started. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the show. This is episode 96. Hi, Shana. Hey. Hey. You want to give us an update of what you've been up to this week and how old your toddler is now?

You betcha. She is 15 months and three weeks. And the big news this week is that I'm finally committed to dropping the nap and just getting her down to one nap.

It's been a long road.

It has. And last week I was reluctant. I tried jumping into it cold turkey and it wasn't really

working. So I committed to pushing back the morning nap about 15 minutes each day. So we've been

doing that for a week and we've gotten down to a noon nap and 15 minutes each day. So we've been doing that for a week. And we've gotten

down to a noon nap. We eat lunch around 1130. And then she goes down for a new nap. And it's been

going pretty well. Like she sleeps, you know, an hour and a half usually. That's good. Yeah.

Yeah. So that's pretty good. And it seems to be really working for her because then she has enough wake time at the end, you know, between the nap and bedtime that she's not like crazy, crazy tired and stuff.

So I think we did it.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

It's like a long slog from wake up time to first nap, especially with two kids.

Yeah, I bet. Working from home. But it's okay. It's what needed to happen. And it's totally fine.

Yeah, I must say, I am a little nostalgic for those morning naps, the nine, I don't remember what time even. It's so funny how quickly you forget. But I think it was like 10 o'clock he would go down for his nap, I want to say, 9.30, 10. And now it's like, you just, yeah, you just got to find stuff to do. Keep powering through. Keep powering through. Sometimes that thing is Sesame Street. I'm not going to lie.

Oh, man, I wish I could entertain her with television, but she just doesn't care very much about it.

It's so, it's so interesting. But that leads into my next thing, which is one thing she is doing is showing more of an attention span for books.

So she's always been, she always loved books.

First it was like because she liked to eat them, right?

And she was teething.

And then she loved to just flip through them as fast as she could.

I could barely even finish a book.
