Since Joshua has not been a good sleeper in the day I have been racking my brain to remember what we did differently with David. Aside from the fact that he is a different child, and thus going to have different habits, the big difference I found was rhythm.
So starting today at those times of the day where Joshua seemed the most fussy (ie: already ate but still wanting to be held or he would cry) I just sat & rocked with him. I noticed rather quickly that he does want to drop off.... he just has his own time table for how he will do it. He took a 30 minute am nap and two back-to-back pm naps of 30 minutes each. Tomorrow we will try again.
Lesson learned: Mama don't know everything....... but she is willing to learn as long as her kids keep trying to be patient with her.

I have found it very difficult to realize that Ian is a different child and what worked with Melody won't necessarily work with him. I thought I had it all figured out and then Ian came along to prove that I don't! =) Good luck.
