OMG- my child is the spawn of me...her inability to take naps during the day is our biggest struggle right now. My thriving daughter does not like to nap during the day, I know I should be thankful she is sleeping 10 hours at night, but she needs to nap. The biggest problem is she gets so tired during the day but does not want to sleep for longer than 20 min naps. Without taking naps, she will get cranky at some point during the day, which is not a fun experience. We have tried putting her in her crib to sleep, her swing, bouncy seat, someone's arms...still only 20 mins.
Okay, so here is my plan...back to my books...what does it tell me to do about napping...I need HELP! Well, I re-read Babywise on the way to Ohio and it tells me to place her in her crib, same time everyday. (I have tried this, but we will try again) It tells me to let her cry for 20 mins, wow that is so long in "baby crying land." I have gotten better, I can let her cry for 8-10 mins at a time, but 20 is a long time. But I will try it...let's see if it works...It will be a great thing if we can get her to take 2 naps during the day!! A great Christmas present to her parents!!

Ha, I wish I could tell you that it will get better, but you know I just don't know...ha. I loved the Christmas card. Ours is own it way. Kind of late on the whole Christmas thing this year. I can't believe how big she is getting. Miss you.
