Why is it that when your a kid....you don't want to take a nap...but get a little older and all you want to do is nap?
My boys don't like naps anymore, and as the schools have weaned Maddman off of them it's harder and harder to get Little Man to take one. At the beginning of the summer I only made Maddman lay down until Little Man fell asleep. Which worked out well. And other days I didn't make them nap at all.
However , and this delves a bit into our bedtime routine/time, the boys did not go to sleep when sent to bed. They stayed up playing quietly until 10ish. Their bedtime is 8pm. When school starts, and starting tonight, it's back to 7:30 with exceptions being the weekend and events. So I made them both lay down to nap. I knew they were both tired from being up late and that they were crabby. So no surprise that twenty minutes later they were still up and fussing with naptime. They did both finally take a nap thankfully. I was not having two crabby kiddos all afternoon/evening.
*Sigh*
I want a nap now.
