Trials & Tribulations

Oh me - the nap time nightmare. We are at a hard place with Rachel and naptime on the weekends. All reports from the Lollipop Room are that Rachel has no problem at school taking a nap and usually sleeps 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Not so much for Mom and Dad. Today I thought - let's make sure she is tired and gets lots of play time including outside time. She helped me rake leaves and run around outside for over an hour. I wasn't really even committed to her taking a nap at all unless she started acting tired and cranky, which she did. Well it has been an hour and a half so far of upset ranging from kicking walls, loud crying "I want my Mommy!" and other lovely things like that. Brian just reported that she is now quiet but I really don't believe him to be honest. We will see I suppose. Sophie is coming over tonight for a sleep over, too so Rachel needs some rest I think.
