Of course, Trevor and I did go grocery shopping this morning just to get it done and so Brendan could nap with quiet.<br \/>\nTrevor tried a one-nap-a-day routine today and did pretty well. A little bit earlier lunch, a 2.5hr nap, a snack, play, dinner, bottle, play, bedtime. He slept in until almost 8 this morning after being up twice in the night. I like the schedule as long as he doesn&#8217;t pull the 45min nap stunt!<\/p>\n<p>Bill made Trevor&#8217;s day by finally allowing him to play with the xbox controller.
