More on Anya
As of about two weeks ago, we stopped insisting that Anya take a nap. Â Even though she would sleep most days for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours, she was having a very hard time falling asleep at night and was also waking up too early in the morning. Â In the past, if she didn’t nap, she would get cranky or kind of punchy around dinnertime and would be nearly falling asleep by bath time. Â However, the nap skipping experiment has gone quite well. Â Most days she breezes through the day without issue and then goes to sleep relatively soon after we put her to bed – and stays asleep for about 11 straight hours. Â A couple of times, skipping the naps has caught up with her and we ended up having her “rest” in her bed, knowing she would probably conk out. Â I hear that tends to happen when kids give up their naps.
Also, Anya can now officially spell three words – her name, boots, and mom. Â 🙂
