I think at this age routine is the ...Hilarious!!!!!<br />I think at this age routine is the name of the game. With a big girl bed you might need to institute some new nap time traditions. With Riley we'd stay with her until she was completley asleep, and then eventually until we could trust her to go to sleep from sleepy.<br />But it took several months to work up to leaving at sleepy...The process was sometimes frustrating and time consuming. But she shares a room with her sister and I couldn't afford to have her sister woken up. And it lent to special time together, getting to reconnect *just* us. Some days she still asks me to stay until she's asleep because she misses me. And that's fine, she is growing so fast! :0( I know our situations are different-shared room etc...But I've found approaching these situations in ways that will build up our relationship and open more opportunties to reconnect always works well- not always easiest, but rewrding! Good luck! And her bedding is so cute!!Hannah Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05104915683119504514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569625079621278018.post-7834968967166867522010-09-17T05:15:29.093-07:002010-09-17T05:15:29.093-07:00I just spilled hot tea on myself cracking up this ...I just spilled hot tea on myself cracking up this morning.

I love that you wrote d...Argh... that's tough! I love that you wrote down all her excuses! :) Ben & Erin read a book about stuff like that when they moved Charlie to a big bed. They'd read about a method where you just intercept them at the door and put them right back into bed without saying a word to them. What they're looking for is interaction, so when you chat and barter with them, they're getting what they want. We did that with Boaz. The first night, we put him back into bed about 30 times. (the first time, we verbally told him that we'd be putting him right back in it and he needed to stay there) We just scooped him up as soon as we heard him out. The second night was 15ish times, the third night was about 5... and a couple nights later the problem was pretty much solved. I will tell you that Ben's first night was 300+ times... all night long. (talk about patience!!) But after just a few nights, they were set, too. Don't know if it would work for you, but worth a shot? You could always ask Erin about it next week at L&P? Sorry... this turned into a book!! Talk to you soon!Becky Bartletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556366540639384267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569625079621278018.post-33134535763610064672010-09-15T19:27:20.767-07:002010-09-15T19:27:20.767-07:00Oh the delaying.

I feel like I've read as the kiddos get older, sometimes nap time turns into quiet play time but as far as suggestions well, Carter has become a nap resisting champ so...<br /><br />I think just stay as consistent as possible and she will eventually figure out that all of her tactics don't get her too far. It's so hard not to laugh though...I was laughing here.
