how can a nap go so wrong?
Miranda fell asleep quite early on Monday night. She woke up around 5 and was cranky by 7. Have you seen a sock meltdown? Not pretty. She fell asleep on the way home from Target around 2:30. We bought less stressful socks. And she decided after we left the store that I should go back inside the store and exchange her Matchbox car for a different Matchbox car. Wasn't happening, so she cried and fell promptly asleep.
Her nap was glorious. Almost 3 hours. Deep sleep. She woke up happy. But when it came time to go to bed, she wasn't tired. She wasn't interested. She wasn't even whiny or fussy. Determined and funny. When she couldn't squeeze an extra story in, she asked for a snack. Just a little snack...and she giggled when I would say no. She was a well-rested attorney making a late bedtime case in the court of Mom Needs Her Sleep. She normally starts going to bed at 7:15 or so. Last night, knowing she had napped, we didn't even try until almost 8. She held out until about 10:30. At least that's when I fell asleep.
