Today I want to run screaming from my home. Little One refused a nap and is now trying to decimate my last shred of sanity with her random mood swings.
It's probably uncool to dose her with sedatives, right?
I felt the same way when my little one first decided he wanted to fight naptime. I was a strict enforcer of naptime and it took a lot of time for me to realize that those blissful periods might be changing as his sleep patterns changed, or as his desire to fight sleep grew. It's still frustrating when he refuses to nap, but I'm more able to deal with the changes (it also helped when he started preschool at 2.5 years and I got a few hours rest, I highly recommend it!). BTW, your Castlegar Cardigan is lovely ...
