Anyone else had a stressful day?

Yip! Two 20 minute naps the whole day and a very tired baby has meant today has been exhausting. Not to mention the pressure I have put on myself to have the best Christmas is spoiled by getting too emotional when things don't go to plan
My little man was such a battle to get to nap and then when he finally did after waking up he cried for nearly an hour before calming down 🤦🏻♀️
Thankfully today I put my foot down and said we are seeing no one and having a Christmas to ourselves so although little lady skipped one nap it wasn't too bad. Tomorrow on the other hand, we have a busy day seeing both side of the family at different locations so its going ti be stressful with a baby that's over tired and a 5 year old that will get over stimulated and then act out
Very grateful we were at the in laws who were so considerate of the baby. Christmas is so hard to navigate when they're small and there's so much pressure to make it magical and perfect because they're only small for such a short amount of time, be kind to yourself, you got through it and next year it will be completely different! A toddling 18m+ old at Christmas is actually less stressful - promise! 😂
So I cancelled Christmas yesterday after a very rough night and two 20 minute naps. I said Christmas is cancelled today and we’ll try again tomorrow. We both got a lot more sleep and today we’ve enjoyed a delayed christmas. He has no idea it’s Christmas so it was more for me and I’m so glad we decided to postpone 🤣
Yeeeeep!!! Longest day of the year🥲 plus all my family commenting ‘she looks so tired’… you come up and try to settle her to sleep then 🙄
