She may not ever really nap anymore, but she still loves to play "night night!"
Adilyn used to be the best napper, ever! She would usually nap for 2 - 3 hours every day. One day, all of a sudden, she just never went to sleep. She stayed in her room and read her books. As the days have gone on, she would tell me that she didn't want to nap. I think it's important for all kids to have some "down time"...okay, let's be honest - it's important for me to have some much needed time to get things done and have a little quiet time, too! :) Anyway, we have changed her nap time to "rest time". She goes into her room, and she does what ever she feels like doing. It's always interesting to see what she spends her time doing. Here are some things that she has done.
*Her favorite thing is to take every single book off her bookshelf and throw them all over her room. She got really creative with them once and made "book stairs". She stacked them in different levels to make stairs.
*She got ahold of a HUGE bottle of lotion and had a "lotion party" as she called it. Lotion was absolutely everywhere! The bookshelf and the carpet up there is much softer now!
*She heard Cory and I outside working on the yard, so she opened up her blinds and stayed perched in the window with her toys the whole time.
*All the clothes were pulled out of her closet. They were organized in piles, by color. When I came up she said, "Look Mama, my clothes are like a rainbow."
*One time, she had gotten out her dress up clothes. When I came up to get her, she was pretending to be asleep, but had on a scarf, a silly hat, and a big smile on her face.
