my boy is almost 2-1/2 and still gets 2 naps a day. hell i'm 34 and take one a day! if T doesn't get at least one nap in he's a hellion to the nth degree. i get the proverbial screeimg, kicking, hitting the dog, rubbing the eyes and just plain bitchy in the extreem cases. nothing that a 2 hour nap can't take care of. T is my first child and boy, what a difference he has made in my life. most people have 9 months to get ready. my wife at the time and i adopted T. it happened this fast: one sunday morning the phone rang and it was a friend of ours who asked if we were still looking to adopt and that her aunts daughters best friend had a 2 week old that she wanted to give up for adoption. T was taken home that night. talk about falling off into the deep end without swimming first! imo, you decide if your going to be the quality parent you want to be. it's in your instincts, albeit some lack this quality. Juju, you'll do alright man, your in for the learning experience of a lifetime. as T gets older, i learn something new about him and myself. these experiences will never end and i don't want them to.
