We have discovered that most days Katelynn really does benefit from having a nap. It took us a long time to figure this one out this year since she was so bad about taking naps, but we have resorted back to them and found that she is doing much better at night with napping (or at least quiet time) during the day. Part of our compromise with her was that she could nap in our bed. Well, today Jonathan started the remodel of our master bath so sleeping in our room wasn't an option. Katelynn was not liking the idea of having to sleep in her boring old bed for nap time so we made a compromise with her. If she went right to sleep, she could camp out in Daddy's office in a sleeping bag! This was a HUGE hit! I had bought a little camping set on clearance at Target in January, and it is probably the best $3 I have spent in a while.
I snuck in and took this last picture of her after she was OUT!

Nice work, Mama! I'm so glad she is back to napping for you. You did have to get a little creative, didn't you?, but soooo worth it!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Natalie went through a phase similiar to K and she slept in the trampoline (just like you guys have) in her room. It worked and now she is back to her bed.
