Nap No More

We're back here again - very few naps for my darling daughter.  We go through phases though it's VERY hard for me to remember that every day at 2:30 when she's running around her room, jumping off her bed, and kicking her wall.  Most days this is incredibly infuriating, frustrating, annoying and ridiculously stupid!  I've done a lot to get her to sleep - drive, lay down with her on the couch listening to classical music, laid down next to her in her room, laid down with her in our bed, rubbed her back... not much else I can do.  In the last month/few weeks her naps have been pretty rare.  I'm sure this is about a power struggle.  She's very obviously tired, but she gets into her room and will not stay in her bed.  I've thought many a time that I should put her back in the crib but since she can climb into it I'm afraid she'd spend her whole nap time trying to figure out how to climb out. 

Soooooo... anyway.... one day at the end of the 1.5-2 hours I leave her in the room, I walked in and saw her...

Unloading her clothes

All of her clothes!

Every last one of them 

Then she decided she should lay down for her nap... 

But, that wasn't very comfortable so she decided to take all the clothes off 

Then decided a nap wasn't the best idea so she thought she'd throw a fit instead.

Needless to say - she didn't nap that day. 

A few days ago I walked in and she had taken off her diaper and peed in her bed.  Yesterday when I walked in she had taken out all the extra bibs from her closet, and before we could go downstairs she had to fasten all the bibs back before we could move on.  So, sometimes it is funny when I go in there... sometimes. 

Good news is when she doesn't nap - we put her in bed at 7 instead of 8.  Love the sliver lining!
