When You Have to Go, You Have To Go... to sleep

Oh for crying out loud. I'm no good at the silent posts. I was envisioning artsy pics of our daily life. Alas.

Anyway, Divina's naps have been hit and miss for the past two months. She either naps for three hours or not at all. And when the nap does occur it's on the way home from Grandma's at 6:30pm. That means she wakes up, at the earliest, by 8:00, if the nap is a short one. So midnight is the bedtime on those days. Not good.

So yesterday she was falling asleep in the car, at 6:00, and I was trying to talk to her to keep her awake so she'd go to bed at 9:00. She kept drifting off and I kept waking her up. Then she says to me "I want to take a nap." Well, you can't argue with that. When a 3 yr old says shes ready for a nap, it's naptime. Her little head flopped to one side and the eyes slid shut. Then the head raised up and it said "Mom... Don't wake me up, okay?" And back down. Snoring.
