Nap or No Nap?

Lately, when I tell Makenzie it is time for her nap, she quickly insists that she is not tired (even though moments earlier she has said otherwise). I realize she is getting older and some kids stop napping around age 3, but I have determined that this child NEEDS a nap or 5:00pm around the McGilvray household can be somewhat challenging. A few weeks ago, I allowed her to rest on the couch watching her LeapFrog ABC dvd. From the kitchen, I asked her a question, and when she didn't respond, I walked over to the couch to find her asleep. I grabbed my camera to get a few shots and she just slept through the clicking and flashes going off. Thankfully, she is back to taking naps in her bed and I have a happier toddler.....which makes for a happier household!

Kaitlin has started refusing hers as well. I still put her in her room and she will usually go to sleep (sometimes on the floor) but then there are those times she just plays and plays and then I have a little CRAZY person around 5pm. Not fun. I wish we could convey to them how much they will crave naps later in life!

Carter is going on almost a month of no naps. He handles it well. I think I am the one who still needs one! LOL!
