The Great Nap Crisis

For a few weeks now Ella has been refusing to nap A LOT. It's extremely frustrating and exhausting. I've tried everything but no matter what she stands in her crib and wails until I let her get out and play. She's tired in the early evening so I really don't think she's ready for no nap (and I am completely not open to that idea-she's not even 2 yet!!). So, we'll keep trying different things to tire her out and pray for this wretched phase to end. In other bad sleep news, we tried to put her to bed at a friend's house and I think her days of going to sleep in a pack-n-play at other people's houses is over. It was a lovely season of life that I'm very thankful for especially because lots of other people's kids would never do it. You can find us at home most nights after 8pm as of now. A sacrifice worth making :-)
