Naps

Elsie is going through a tough time when it comes to naps. She does not want to take them!!! I used to be able to put her down with no problem but now she just gets right back up again and gets out of her bed. So I have just been putting up the gate and letting her have quiet time while hoping the whole time that she will lie down and fall asleep. But what happens while I am away is far from sleep. This is how I fond her one of the afternoons after her quiet time

That is so funny! Logan tried to stop taking naps back in February when we moved him to a toddler bed. So I came up with a routine right after lunch and he did well with that as long as I followed the same steps every time and put him down at the same time. Now that he is older I can tell that taking a nap is causing him to not be sleepy at bedtime, so I started quiet time yesterday instead of a nap (as you saw on facebook). But today he told me that he didn't want quiet time, he just wanted to lay down in bed....so I guess he doesn't want to give up his nap...I'm not sure what to do..I guess I'll just see how things go one day at a time...
