No More Naps!

Over the past several weeks, Steve and I have wondered about whether or not we should get rid of Amaya's naps. We were hoping that she'd gradually "grow out" of naps, but after several nights of her laying in bed awake until 10:30, 11:00, 11:30pm, we decided to get rid of them altogether. She typically wakes up on her own between 7:30-8am and won't be ready for a nap until after 3pm. Once 3pm rolls around, it generally takes her a little while to fall asleep and once she's out, she's out until 5pm! When we're ready to tuck her in bed, read books, and pray around 9pm, she's still wide awake begging for one more story and one more sip of water. So, for the past four days, she's been waking up around 7:30-8am and going to bed around 8-8:30pm without much of a fight. Amaya is very proud of herself and is pretty excited for NO MORE NAPS!
