After a few weeks of fighting it, I think I am finally realizing that Natalie no longer wants to take naps. No matter what I say or how I bribe her, thirty minutes after I put her down, she comes back to me saying she "woke up". The down side is that I lose my time to do things like read blogs, read a book, or do something by myself. The upside is an early bedtime for her because she can get pretty grouchy by dinner sometimes. I guess my dream of two sleeping children at the same time was only that- a dream.

Sarah--you should definitely institute 'quiet time' at your house!! I used to set a timer for Lydia for an hour or hour and a half when she had to play in her room or read books by herself without bothering me. It worked pretty well, and I think it's good for everyone to have a little 'down time' in the afternoon!!
Losing nap time is definitely sad. After Drew stopped taking an afternoon nap we started quiet time and we still do it. It's a great break for everyone!
