If she isn't asleep by 3 I usually know it's not going to happen so then i let her stay up (with a discussion about how she can't be whiney or she needs to go to bed). If she does sleep (especially if she goes to sleep later) we wake her at 5 because otherwise she doesn't go to sleep at bedtime. Days we have to wake her and the days she doesn't sleep (and goes to bed early) are BRUTAL suppertime battles. I think this is one of my least favourite transitions!Melannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03713235104745805076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566040464413518000.post-89213620579726106512011-04-27T07:06:26.369-04:002011-04-27T07:06:26.369-04:00I have been going through the same thing with my g...I have been going through the same thing with my girls. I expected it from my now 5 yr old but My 3 yr old has given them up too. She still needs them and gets cranky or goes through what I call the witching hour everyday at about 5. How I miss nap time! Encourage her to rest as much as you can - she obviously still needs it but as they get older they fight it - it's naturalMom to 2 Posh Lil Divashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01944242710386537671noreply@blogger.com
