The Clapp Family Zoo: Parenting

Okay it has come to a time in our parenthood that we feel at a loss. We thought we had felt this before but we were wrong. Bryant has reached his terrible 2's, we thought that he had reached these at about 18 months, we were wrong again! He can be the sweetest, most loving thing and make me want to pull my hair out and cry all at the same time! Our biggest struggle has been nap time. We moved him to a toddler bed about a month ago and he does well at night, but nap is another story. There is nothing I can do to make that boy stay in his bed. We spend 2 1/2 hours daily trying to get him to take a nap. NOTHING keeps him there except laying beside him and pretty much holding him down, but who has time for that every day?He hates to be told no, when we do he acts as if it is the first time anyone has ever said the words to him before and his little heart is broken! He screams and cries and wails! Any advice on survival would be appreciated! But in the flip of a coin he is my boy who wants kisses and hugs and to be read to. He makes me question myself about 100 times a day.
Okay enough complaining on with the others... Our big boy Logan turned 3 one the 11th and is so proud. We had a party for him and bryant on the 14th and he was so excited! I cannot believe he is 3 already he had a crazy 2nd year with pokes and prodes, but life goes on and he is a healthy smart 3 year old! They had a Diego birthday party and their favorite part was that Nanny came!
Peyson finally started taking some steps last week. He feels pretty brave about the whole thing. He does not even cry when he falls he just stand back up. He had tubes put in his ears and so far feels a lot better. He has started babbling more and wants toalways have his say. Rosa fell last week at the church building and his a pew, I came up from class and she was standing there covered in blood. After we all calmed down it was determined that a trip to the ER was necessary. After having to pull her out of the car by her feet because she was clinging to the seat belt screaming "I AM NOT GOING" I was pretty sure they would have to sedate her as soon as we walked in. But the bonus of a childrens hospital is they know kids. After toys, Dora and a excellent child specialist who gave her a doll and showed her exactly what was going to haveppen, she did not even cry. I was so proud of her. Afterwards she could not wait to show them off.
And baby Ana is doing very well. She turned 1 month old today and so far she really still sleeps most of the day. She got pretty spoiled when my mom came, but she has still been livable since! She is healthy and growing a ton. Today at WIC she weighed 8'2 with her clothes on. Thats pretty good for a 5'12 baby. It is hard to look at how much she has grown and think that she is still not as big as the others at birth. The other kids really love her and Bryant freaks out when he cannot find her. He walks around yelling "Baby Ana, Baby Ana" and he also thinks that she must have a teddy bear at all times.
