I am in mourning. And I'm only half kidding. Over the last week, Mack has not taken her nap. All the tell tale signs are there that SHE'S ready to give up ( she's not tired in the afternoon even with out a nap, she goes down for nap but never falls asleep, she's been staying up super later at night the last few weeks, unable to settle down) but I'M not ready ! My fantasy was that she'd continue to nap until she was ready to start school. And it wasn't far fetched because, up until this week, it seemed as though those the naps were still needed.
So now, in place of the *beloved* nap time, we now have " quiet time". Mackenzie stays on her bed and talks quietly to herself for the duration of the old nap time . While I can't force her to sleep, I know that she needs some time to herself that is quiet and , heaven only knows I need that time, too!
Consider my mommy flag at half mast.

Hey, now... it could be good. I never took naps (sorry Mom!!) so we always had quiet time ("because Mommy needs a nap"). I ended up reading early. Potential silver lining!
You and your silver lining! lol..But it's true. Plus, it means we aren't that invisible nap tether now!
