The problem with a three year old who no longer wants to take naps (even with bribs) is that she will fall asleep anytime after 4:00, anywhere! I have to be sure to keep her busy and happy or we are in for a late night.
I have forgotten about that stage, I remember with Brooklyn she would need a nap like every 3rd day and then she would be okay for a couple more. Good thing you remind me of these things, I pretty much started all over again with babies!
That is the worst hurdle....even worse than those first two months after they get potty trained and you need to have an immediate bathroom in sight at all times.
I have to add...you must've turned down the thermostat. She's got on a furry coat and seems to be clinging to the vent for warmth. Ha! Our house is just as cold!
Maybe we should get our girls together after 3:30 pm to play, I have the same problem with Rosie. By 5:00-5:30 she's completely losing a grip - the worst part is that I will let her sleep but only for 1/2 hour or so - I get her up and she cry's and is as mean as...I don't even know what! This goes on for about an hour, then all of a sudden she's fine!
“This is our one and only chance at life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now.” - Thomas S. Monson

I WISH I could fall asleep that easily. The treats are even still in her hand. Funny and sweet all at the same time.

I love it. I can just picture her walking along, eating her snack and , BAM! She's out. Hilarious.

I can count on Jack napping for awhile still, right?
I giggled at this all day!

How stinking cute!!!! Bless her heart!
I go through this with Lily too. So now I keep her up all day and put her to bed at 7. Sometimes earlier if needed!
