We have a little girl in our house who desperately needs to nap. She's taken maybe half a dozen naps since the end of May...and this is a VERY BAD THING. For a while I thought maybe she was just giving up naps early and while that sucked for me, such is life.  But it has become increasingly apparent that she NEEDS to nap. She gets so grumpy.

The problem started when she stopped sucking her thumb in May.  Since then it's been nearly impossible to get her to sleep during the day. At first it seemed like she was okay.  But she's not.  So last month I really started my campaign to get her back to napping.  I tried laying with her (which in reality was pretty much me trying to be a straight jacket for her because she was not going down without a fight). That was no fun and it didn't work anyway.  Well, it worked once when she finally wore herself out but the rest of the times she wore me out first.  I tried bribery. That didn't work. I tried lulling her to sleep in the car...and in the stroller. None of that worked. So now I'm trying the only other thing I could think of. Eight months after having taken it down, the crib is back. *fingers crossed*
