NO Naptime!

Ever since Elise has realized how much fun it is to be mobile, she has lost all interest in sleeping late and napping.  Before, I put her down around 1pm everyday for a nap.  She would take her blanket and paci and go right to sleep.  Now, I put her down, and before I'm even out of the room she's climbing up the bumpers, getting on all four's, or sitting up in the crib.  I go back in several times and lay her back down.... repetition.  That's what Super Nanny does on ABC.  Anyway, I usually end up going in and laying her back down an average of four times.  After that, if she's going to continue to chatter, climb, and roll around I just leave her and she eventually ends up falling asleep.  Sometimes it will get quiet in her room, and I'll peek in.  She'll still be sitting up in her bed playing with Bambi.  If she's not crying, I just leave her in there.

 

We're off to a good start

But, it's short lived

 

I'm ready to get up now

 

Then I leave the room for a bit and come back to this
