nap time...
how is it that kids figure they are old enough to phase out naptime? i've been putting afton down around 2 pm forever... and just lately she's started passive resistance. she'll lay there playing with her baby doll or her bink or blanket or whatever might be in her bed, but i'll hear her playing for a good hour... then she's hard to wake up, once she finally crashes, around 4.30 or 5. and i don't dare let her sleep past 5 cause then she thinks she doesn't need to go to bed at night (one night last week she was up til 11!--still crying in her bed cause we wouldn't get her up, i was so tired that night!). i guess it's not generally too bad, cause she's still quiet during naptime, and i know she still gets the rest she needs, but it still drives me crazy too... such is life, i suppose.

i can relate to that! i'm so jealous when i hear about 2-4 year olds who still nap (mine all quit naps by 2, except for an occasional 'crash'). seth isn't napping as of this past week either! that's really driving me crazy (but the problem started when he suddenly started sleeping through the night, so can i really complain?)
I think the reason we regret the passing of naps isn't so much because the littles need the sleep as much as the mommies need some down-time. Just keep putting her down for rest time and maybe after an hour let her get up to avoid the late naps. Good Luck -
