To Nap or Not To Nap
I've discovered that if Kenzie doesn't take a nap in the afternoon she will fall asleep much faster and generally sleep longer at night. Even though I had cut her nap down to just one hour, it was still making a huge difference at night time, often taking an hour or more for her to fall asleep and then waking up before the sun! So I decided to cut the nap altogether. However, she's not technically ready to give it up fully. I'll often find her in her room asleep on the floor after she's been quietly playing. Or during quiet-time we'll put in a movie and she'll fall asleep during the movie. But more times than not, she'll fall asleep in the car on our way home from a long afternoon of playing. If she has her fingers and her blankie, it's a sure recipe for rest and relaxation!
