"Naps stink!" exclaims Nora.

Naps are still a difficult topic for discussion around the Remfrey house. Nora seems to take one long nap each day, but not one in the morning and one in the afternoon. She frequently falls asleep when she is supposed to, but once she is put down in her crib, she wakes up right away. Not fun. Right now she is sleeping next to my leg on the couch. Seems to work for now, but if I get up, game over.

I've tried putting her in her crib and sitting in the rocker so she can see me while she is trying to fall asleep. That simply turns into play time rather than nap time. I DON'T GET IT!

Nora continues to enjoy her bananas and Cherrios. She is able to pick up both, but then doesn't see them anymore because they are in the palm of her hand. I'm putting another piece of what ever it is in her mouth so she sees the correlation between picking up the object and food in her mouth. The next step is for her to figure out the step in between. Backward chaining. I wish I didn't know all this behavioral analysis junk!
