The problem with Sarah napping so well a lot of the time now is that it is particularly frustrating when she doesn't nap well now. Simply because I know she can do it. The routine now is to read one-three books depending on her mood and then put her in bed. No holding, etc. She goes to bed awake. Sometimes she cries and sometimes she doesn't. She is using the pacifier and she has sometimes found it in her crib and gotten it back in her mouth on her own.
Right now she is fighting a nap harder than she's fought for probably two weeks and it's stressing me out!
Of course I'll take a mix of great and bad-napping over all bad-napping any time so I'll try to not complain too much. She's also been sleeping in until 7:30 or so the past few mornings so I'm really feeling good (she still gets up once in the night after going to bed between 6:30-7).
