When our daughter was about Buzzy's age, we began the great conversion from nap to quiet time. This is when you establish that between 45 minutes - 1 hour of "room time" where shades are drawn low, lights turned off and noisy toys removed. You lay down the ground rules and drill it like Patton over a 4 week period: 1. talking only in whispers, 2. all activities occur on the bed 3. book "reading" permitted (refer back to 1 & 2), 4. playing with toys OK, 5. staying on bed, lying down if you feel drowsy encouraged, 6. ABSOLUTELY NO coming out of the room [except for potty] until Mommy comes to get you. keep us posted and Bon Chance!Growing Museshttp://growingmuses.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6628264964152732706.post-46519659963963088812010-11-16T09:34:47.724-05:002010-11-16T09:34:47.724-05:00I know Nathan is younger, so I am actually less ex...I know Nathan is younger, so I am actually less experienced as a mom so maybe I am way off base -- but what about waking her up earlier in the mornings, so that you can start her nap earlier in the afternoon? Then when you wake her after say 1.5 hours, the end of the nap will be earlier than it had been, with a longer waking interval before bedtime, which might make bedtime faster and easier.<br /><br />Hang in there.Jackienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6628264964152732706.post-28935675559367730392010-11-15T22:18:29.858-05:002010-11-15T22:18:29.858-05:00she'll grow out of it . . . eventually.
