I saw it coming, we have had over a month of "I'm not going to bed" and lots of singing and talking in her room when she is actually in there for a rest.
On the positive side, at least on Christmas Day I won't have to convince her to stop playing with all the other kids and have a rest :)
On the other hand... I miss nap time (sob)!
I've noticed that Soph will get a bit more cranky and clingy when she's tired and is less likely to just play, so I need some ideas on how to keep her busy but still relatively quiet and calm (or she'll get overtired).
Here are the ideas I have so far:
Books
Puzzles
Drawing
DVD
Craft
Helping me with housework (hanging washing etc)
Do you have any ideas I can try?
Blocks or paper dolls are great for imginative play or resting listening to nursery rhymes or book on cd.I still miss nap time and its been almost 2 years since my youngest stopped having a day sleep.
