Little Kayleigh won't nap!!!! It's been taking her 1 1/2 - 2 hours to fall asleep at naptime. And by then it's time for her to be getting UP, not falling asleep.
And then there's Syd..."I don't need a nap. I'm not tired, mommy". But within minutes of hitting the pillow she's out. All the while Kayleigh is talking and singing....
Seriously...I put them both down (they share a room) at 1:15 today. It's 2:45 and Kayleigh is hanging over the side of her bed singing "Twinkle". And believe me...this girl needs a nap. You do not want to be around her at 6 pm if she hasn't napped properly.
Oh...what's a mom to do?
Both my kids were young when they stopped napping! I kept trying to keep it going but I encountered the same thing and then when they did fall asleep, I couldn't wake them up. I'd let them sleep for a little bit to take the edge off, and then they'd be up talking till 11 at night! I finally had to give up naps. Drew was 2 1/2 and Sarah around the same age too! I have friends who's children still nap at 4!
