Today, I managed to convince Nikki to have a rest in his room. Not sure how, but he agreed!
It was great! We set 1 hour on his timer and I put the timer just out of reach on the other side of his gate, so he could see (but not adjust) it.
Amazingly, he stayed in his room the whole time! This coming from the child who has done everything to avoid resting in the afternoon for 12 months or more! I don't know if he slept, since he shut the door, but he was silent for all but the last ten minutes, where he made a lovely house for his donkey.
Fingers crossed this will become a regular feature of our day - this afternoon has been so much calmer...
