Earlier today I was planning today's blog post, which I was going to write during Isaac's nap -- in fact, I was going to write about how well he had been napping lately. I never got a chance to do it, however, because (you guessed it!) he didn't nap!
In the two weeks since we returned from visiting Isaac's paternal grandparents in South Carolina, he has been napping like a dream. We're still following the sleep schedule and strategy I detailed back in August, and it's working very well. He goes to bed peacefully, I leave the room, he doesn't cry (usually), and it only takes him ten minutes to fall asleep. Then he sleeps solidly until I wake him up. He only failed to take a nap on one occasion in the past 15 days, and that was probably because, due to a leaky sippy cup in his own bed, he had to try to fall asleep in the guest room.
And, of course, he didn't nap today. So what went wrong?
Although I didn't get the chance to bring on the mishap by blogging about my good fortune, I did boast to two separate people this morning that not only was Isaac still napping at three years old, he was napping better than he ever had. Gotta watch that hubris.
Or it might have been because I myself really wanted a nap.

But at least I got my revenge on him for his lack of napping by refusing to play with him. Instead I wrote my blog post!

As an aside, it occurs to me that these have been golden days indeed -- it's a magical time period when your child is old enough to be toilet trained and still young enough to nap.
