Our nap battles - day 2

Got up for the day at 7 am. An hour later than yesterday (bedtime the night before was 8, but it was a fitful sleep - lots of tears - teething pain??)

We had a breakfast outing this morning and then some company for a while, so although there were some tired signs, we were entertained, and therefore content to play this morning for longer than normal.

About 11, we knew sleep was unavoidable, so our company went home, and we went to go think about napping.

We had a lot of ups and downs, went back downstairs a few times, sat on the couch, wandered around. She is clearly so tired, but won't close her eyes.

About 11:50, she's ready to lay down in my arms, and her eyes are drifting. I sat on the floor holding her and we rocked for a minute or two, and she's practically out, so I laid her down on her nap mat on the floor.

Fully asleep at 11:55. Slept until 1:05 - an hour and 10 minutes, and no intervention needed! Hooray!

But couldn't make it through the day on one nap... fell asleep in the car on the way to dinner about 5:30.  And slept for maybe half hour, 45 mins in the car seat?

Bed time ended up being 9 pm.
