The mystery of the napping schedule...

So, I am trying to figure out how to get Madelyn on a schedule for napping instead of just when I see her yawn or rub her eyes she goes down for nap.  Another reason I need this schedule (besides for my own sanity) is because Paul will be gone during my weekly teaching time and I would love it if Madelyn slept through most of my lessons and I only needed a babysitter for an hour or so each day.  Yesterday was great, she slept from 3pm to 5:30pm and I teach from 3 to 6, so that was perfect.  But that rarely happens. 

Ever since getting Madelyn up early on Black Friday morning she has decided she likes waking up at 5 am instead of 7:30am.  That is a lot of sleep that she (AND I) am not getting anymore...this throws off the schedule I thought I was creating for her naps.  Hence the title of this blog entry.  It is a mystery and I am very frustrated that I can't figure it out.

O and one lovely sidenote.  Madelyn was on her way to sleep in to her normal time this morning and Daddy's alarm on his phone was set to the loudest setting and woke her up at 5:30am!!  GRrrr.  Needless to say, Mommy was not very happy about this incident.  Enough said...   :)
