Lily needs a nap.



Lily can usually do no wrong in my eyes. Yes, she pooped in a kiddie pool and made for a great laugh but I absolutely love watching her grow up. But she has definitely hits her “Terrible Two’s” or maybe it’s sleep deprivation. She recently got a “big girl bed” which caused for a lot of excitement and a lot of change. Which a new baby at home, Lily’s mother has been incapable of getting Lily to nap during the day. In the beginning of the big girl bed the process could take up to 2 hours unless you timed the walk in the stroller perfectly. I have recently been able to get Lily down for her nap within 15 minutes by calling it ‘quiet time’ but now naps only happen when I am there. Which means after a weekend of not napping, coming in on Tuesday can be rough. I’m not exactly sure how this goes but I personally and not ready for Lily’s naps to be completely gone. She’s only 30 months old. It can’t be ok for her to be awake for 12-13 hours straight. Because of the lack of naps with are now experiencing throwing, crying for no reason, and moodiness. Plus, she ends up so tired she falls asleep in the stroller and then wrecks naps and moods for the entire day. It doesn’t feel like my place to tell the mom that naps are necessary but Lily with out them is kind of a hot mess. What do you think?
