Sheena's Days


Sheena is currently either very active, or totally exhausted. She still has two naps a day, but when she isn't having her naps, she is very busy stacking things on shelves, or climbing up on us, or making her way around the house. I leave her to her own devices a lot, because she's so busy exploring, that she's very content and happy doing that. Her favourite time with us is story time, and three books are the bare minimum. Its more, more more.

She somewhat falls apart if she doesn't get her two naps in. Her day at creche is her hardest. She only gets 1 hour sleep all-up, because there is a lot going on and all the activity keeps her awake. By the time I pick her up after work, she's well and truely had enough. However, I think the creche is good. The carers are lovely to her, and she gets to have a lot of playtime with other kids her age.

Next year, I'm going to keep her in the baby room until she's 2 1/2. My goal is for her to move up to the 2y/o plus room by August 2008. That'll give her a chance to increase her stamina, and get stronger stability on her feet. I'd like her to move up though, so she's with the older toddlers and it'll ultimately help her develop speech.

Less sleep can make it tough. I agree with you on the thoughts about daycare (creche). I think Delphine has learned a lot from her peers.
