Over a month ago Boo decided she was done with naps. I was REALLY hoping that it would just be a phase and she would start napping again, but I’ve officially given up that hope. By now we’ve worked out a new “normal” and we’re getting along just fine. It’s actually working out nicer since we don’t have to stop for her to take a nap during the day.
It seems WAY too early for her to stop napping since K stopped napping just last year at 5 years and 3 months (on the day Peanut was born), but I think she really is ready. When she does take a nap she’s down for 2-3 hours and is a little big grumpy all evening after she wakes up. Now she just plays hard until bedtime.
When she was napping we would put her to bed at 8:30 and she would quietly lie in bed looking around or talking softly to herself until 10:00-10:30! Now we put her down at 8:00 and she is out like a light. It seriously takes less than 5 minutes.
So I guess it’s all for the best, but it does make the day a little long. Especially in the afternoons when I catch her laying somewhere and sucking her thumb…
“Who me?? No, I’m not tired…I was dust hiding!”
“See Mommy?”
At least the little one still takes two good naps for me! :)
Ty was like that at that age. He quit taking naps but if I didn't get him to bed by 8 or 8:30, I would find him in bed cuddled up with his stuffed animals falling asleep.
