Tonight Emily picked up the video camera (hmm, apparently she can get into that drawer now...) and carried it around saying, "Emi smile!"
We needed some smiles tonight, after day 2 of nap strike!
Actually, another smile... Alasdair took Emily for a walk in the Ergo when he got home late this afternoon, and of course she fell asleep because she hadn't napped. She was so sound asleep when they got back, he was able to take off her coat, boots & snowsuit without waking her up. And, to wipe her face. And basically dance her around the house. Poor tired kid. You'd think that at almost an hour past her bed time now she'd be sound asleep, but I can hear her playing in her room. Sigh. (Grumble.)
Wow, this is odd. Another friend blogged almost simultaneously to you about moving her toddler to a big girls bed a few weeks back. Then, a few weeks later, she posted about naps problems. Here is the post to explain the solution:

See the bottom of the post. I don't know how old Emily is, but it might be worth looking into the tent.
Huh, interesting. (That's the 2nd time this week I've heard the 2years9mo thing...how do people come up with those numbers?:).
ReplyDeleteWe had no intention of moving Emily into a big kid bed this young (she's 20 mo.s) but did it for the same reason; she was climbing out of the crib. She's been fine for a month, and she is sick right now, so I don't want to make a drastic change... but that is definitely something to keep in mind...so thanks for sharing!
