Ok, I am only half-serious.
When we picked Rylie up from school today she had only had a 35 minute afternoon nap. She normally has a 1-1.25 hour nap. So thinking she might be tired, we thought we would give her a short little snooze before dinner to hold her over until bed..... turns out, we were wrong.
Now Rylie has not had a late afternoon nap in quite sometime, because every time she had one, she would fight bedtime. And that, my friends, is exactly what happened tonight. We tried rocking, nursing, letting her work it out in bed and more rocking, all to no avail. Our blue eyed baby was bright eyed and bushy tailed until 10:15 pm tonight, exactly 4 hours after she woke up from her lovely late afternoon shut-eye.
So, now I can officially say that she no longer needs an afternoon nap and in the future I will just put her to bed a little early if need be.
Thank you Rylie for the lovely parenting lesson, I can now be a better mommy :)
