Anyone with a toddler will know it's not always easy to leave the house. You have to schedule around nap times and be prepared to leave at a moments notice should the mother if all tantrums occur. Because of this we don't go out as a family as often as we'd like, sure we'll pop to the shops occasionally but a "day out" is the last thing on our wishlist at the moment. Today we took the chance, waited until after Milo's nap, went for food, took them to the arcade where we thought he would be pleased by the sensory overload and it went okay but soon enough baby was tired and that always marks the end of the trip. I've only really noticed this change very recently and am a little nervous it may be the onset of the terrible twos but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he's just growing and needs more sleep. The problem is that he doesn't sleep anywhere but the car and his cot.. Not his pushchair, not the sofa, not even having a cuddle with Daddy so I'm hoping once he's learns to nap elsewhere we'll be cool again.. Just a waiting game.

I am really lucky because our little one sleeps everywhere. We have the Bugaboo Cameleon pram and he would easily fall asleep at 12 and stay asleep until 2pm. Just like his nap at home would be. It get's better for you once they are older. We are hitting the terrible twos too.
