After 1 hour and 10 minutes of battle...the kiddo is finally napping today. 2 1/2 years seems way too young to lose our afternoon nap, but we have been struggling big time lately. She's fine with playing in her room for an hour or so of quiet time, but by late afternoon she is very crabby and tired. Tips anyone?

No real tips...when Isaiah was her age, he would take a long time to go to sleep for naps and bedtime, but he really still needed that nap--so did I since Liam was a newborn!! I know a lot of people do something like a quiet time in bed reading books/playing w/dolls and animals and more times than not, their little one goes to sleep...good luck!!!
ReplyDeletemr. Intensity gave up napping at 2.5. It was a very sad time for me. He would fight about staying in his room...but I needed the alone time. The library saved me. We checked out stories on CDs - and our compromise was that he didn't have to nap, but he had to stay in his room until the CD was silent. A few times he fell asleep (but not many!)
