Lila's naps are becoming a lot less sleeping and a lot more playing. She is always excited to lay down and "eep" except she wants to continue playing with her friends and not sleep. I usually have to go in more than once and ask her to lay down and stop throwing her toys, kicking/hitting the wall, or trying to get out (she has fallen out a few times...oops.) She also loves to lay quietly for about 30 minutes and just when you think she is asleep, you hear her yelling,
"Mommy! Lila toot! Yay! Lila toot! Pee-yew"
No nap also equals toddler meltdown/dramatics for the rest of the evening. Lila is into the throw yourself down on the ground and kick your feet kind of tantrums. (they are pretty funny to watch and I need to get a video of her drama queen moments) Brendan napped until he was almost 4 years old and I am not ready to accept that Lila at 2 is done with naps. She will still have her nap time and if it turns into her quiet time then so be it.
Oh Lila. How can I be upset at that little smile.
No one could be upset with that sweet little girl.
