I haven’t posted about naptime struggles in a long time. And I’ll tell you why…it’s because we haven’t been having any naptime struggles!
YAY!
WOOHOO!
Even Elizabeth Anne has been willing to take a nap with out new routine. She just loves to be read to. LOVES IT!!! So, I’ve been sitting with the girls and reading them a nap time story and then sitting with them while they drift off to sleep.
Just because EA has been napping doesn’t mean that she doesn’t fight it. It usually takes her quite a while to settle down and allow herself to go to sleep.
She will do anything to prevent it from happening.
She will wave her arms around.
She will kick with her legs.
She will fiddle around with her lovie.
She will play with her hair.
ANYTHING!
Today as I was sitting by her, almost to the point of strapping her arms and legs down, she did something new that I just had to sit there and laugh about.
She started patting her head and rubbing her tummy at the same time.
I allowed it to work and keep her from sleeping for a few minutes before I told her to stop and go to sleep. But I almost could not contain the laughter in the moment.
I have never been so desperate to keep myself awake that I was willing to test my coordination skills.
