Yes, she looks adorable here sniffing that fake flower but what you can't see is that lurking underneath is a nap-fighting little girl. Sydney has decided this week that she is NOT napping! It has made for some very grouchy afternoons (for her & me) lately. Her Daddy will call me in the afternoon and I tell him about how she won't sleep (but is tired) and how she's grumpy and as soon as he gets home she's all smiles and giggles. Makes me look like a liar! Believe me, I'm not making it all up. As I write this she is rolling around on the floor with her blanket but if I tried to lay her down, she would throw a fit so I have just decided to go with the flow on this one. Any advice from other Mommies of toddlers out there? Please!

Have her take a "rest." My dialogue was always something around - no, OBVIOUSLY you do NOT need a nap, but in our house we always have midday rests. You are free to do whatever you like in your bed - read, play dolls, color. After a rest, I'll get you up again.
ReplyDeleteMost of the time she would sleep, other times no, but she did manage to rest and was better behaved.
Thanks, I'll have to try that.
