My sweet Emme has been quite the cranky butt lately!  She IS teething (upper canines), but I think it has more to do with her giving up her 2nd nap.  She now flat out refuses  to take a 2nd nap (I'm talking catapulting herself out of her bed & not even blinking an eye) and now she is an absolute MONSTER in the evenings and even in the mornings.  Her teachers say she is fine during the day, but I think she isn't getting enough sleep.  This is SO out of character for Emme - she's normally so easy going.  Of course all of this could be just that she is 19.5 months and close to the "terrible twos."  I don't remember how old Jackson was when he stopped taking 2 naps.  I could go look in his baby book or this blog, but I haven't yet.  So here's my question to you: 1. When did your kids stop taking a second nap?  Also, what time do your little ones go to bed?  We can never seem to get in bed until 8:00 or 8:30pm.  By the time I get home between 5:00-5:30pm, play a bit, cook dinner, eat, bath, read bedtime book(s), it is always 8:00-8:30pm.  So in a nutshell, my sweet baby's sour disposition could be:
a. teething
b. not enough sleep
c. terrible twos
d. something else that I haven't even considered

It's enough to make you crazy!
