NAP TIME (3 YRS OLD)

Nap time routine has changed quite a bit over the last month or so. Often times,S sometimes refuses to nap and insist on playing. Momma says S can play in her room for a little bit. "Playing" consists of reading, playing with her animals, or listening to music. She has to stay in her room and her door has to stay close. Whenever she's done with playing, she has to take a nap, at which time, she can leave her door open.

Typically S falls asleep within half an hour of being put to bed. Sometimes, momma sneaks into the (connecting) bathroom and sees S flipping through her books, wrestling her animals, or pushing play again on her music player. There has been at least a couple times a month where S refuses to nap, despite her eye rubbing and then S just skips her nap.

The probably one of the best purchases momma has made recently has been S's CD player for her bedroom. She often listens to music before falling asleep both at nap time and bedtime. S enjoys listening and dancing to music and now, she can push the buttons and set it up herself.
