So we failed as well. Some days we do one nap when it seems fitting, but most days we do two and I'm with you, it's nice to have a happy girl again.Ordinary Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097349591385452530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2690935211287966710.post-47177591079045268712011-06-21T06:22:11.730-05:002011-06-21T06:22:11.730-05:00The 'dropping a nap' stage is tricky.

Glad God does that with me:) Obviously, you did that with your sweeties.<br />Love hydrangeas--and yours are beautiful.

I'm so glad you brought Jesus into it all :). (He does have a lot of children, you know! And sometimes He tells this old lady still--TAKE A NAP!) Your littles are so precious.

It works for us- but most importantly, it works best for Sam and Anna. You've got to do what works. I'm glad you have happy toddlers again!Once Upon A Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865931408744885743noreply@blogger.com
