What happened to my napper!?!?!



The last two days Maya has refused to nap. Isn't 18 months old too young to stop taking naps!?! Please chime in and tell me what you think. Without a nap, she does fine all day until about 7:00 when she gets extremely cranky. I got her up earlier today to see if that will help. Once it's nice again outside we can go play in the sun so that she'll be ready for a nap after lunch time. I love the girl but I need a break at least once a day!! Even for one hour...please??

Tara I know how you feel. I love those naps so much. My 5 year old still has them (on the days he's not at school). I kindof decided that maybe 3 or 4 was old enough to not a have a nap so if he just doesn't want one ok but if he still wants one, he can have one. But your's is 18 months so I guess I would go with Supernanny on this one. She suggests that you keep bringing her back into bed until she finally sleeps. I'm actually going through that with my 2 year old right now and it seems to work pretty well. He gets really weepy and whiny by like 6 if he doesn't nap. I also saw your blog on Sharon's and I look at it sometimes too :). Is it ok if I put you on my blogging friends list?

Tara, I would think it's just a phase, Charlie has had sporadic weeks where napping has been a challenge, but it has always returned and he's three, hang in there.
