Here is what happens around here when I let Meg convince me she should be able to skip a nap.
She never makes it. She crashes and burns by about 4:30pm . . . snoozes for 30 minutes or so, then wakes up and thinks she never even fell asleep. It's a cute little pattern we've gotten into around here.
I'd say that we are transitioning to a 'no nap' lifestyle . . . but I still think that's a little premature. Meg needs her nap, even at 3.75 yrs old. She is not ready to give up that afternoon sleep. Sure, she can make it without a nap every now and then, but she needs to sleep for a few hours at least 5 afternoons a week. And with Kate around -- who needs a nap every day -- it's certainly no problem.
I like that Meg still naps. We might be starting to miss out on a few afternoon playdates or activities -- but I don't care. I'm hanging on to this last think that still makes Meg feel a little, tiny bit like my baby.
My baby Meg still needs her sleep.
That's so cute. I remember when Tanner was transitioning out of his nap this school year --- every afternoon at 1, while Days of Our Lives was on, he would curl up in my lap and catch a few winks. That transition is hard ... but I'm with you. If Kate is still napping, then why not??
ReplyDeleteI sure hope Miller keeps up his nap that long too! It's nice to get both kiddos on the same napping schedule. I still like to squeeze one in here or there.
