Napping is Overrated

Every so often Claire decides that napping is completely overrated and tests the waters. She jumps on her bed, sings the ABCs at the top of her lungs, and gets out of her bed and starts playing with her toys. When this happens (usually once every few weeks), we start off by ignoring her. This usually works 50% of the time...she plays for a little while and then drifts off into sleep. When it doesn't work, we usually have to go up to her room and tell her to get back into bed. This results in success about 40% of the time. The other 10% is an extreme battle. Saturday afternoon's nap fell into the extreme battle category. It took 2.5 hours to get her to go to sleep (yes, we are persistent) and this is what her room looked like afterward. Pretty funny.
