Naps

At the end of August we decided to pull this little one's naps. She had only been taking 20-30 minute naps and was having a very hard time going down at nighttime. It didn't seem to effect her daily life and going to sleep at night became much easier. It's surreal as Drew could still nap 2 hours a day as a 5.5 year old, but all kiddos are different. At night now, we rock her to sleep (I know, it's bad and we plan to do CIO again soon), around 8pm and generally sleeps until 6-7a. I say generally as there have been a few times she wakes up around 5am.

That being said, she still does nap from time to time. She's like her momma and immediately falls asleep in the car if she's sleepy so we do get naps there sometimes. Also, the other day she crawled up onto Mimi's lap and just passed out. The poor thing was exhausted so, of course, we let her sleep for a bit. If kids only realized how amazing naps were and how badly adults wish they could take one daily!!
