Naps: A Thing of the Past?

What? Is it nap time?

I don't know what is going on with Shelby lately. She no longer takes naps. I don't know if it's due to the time change on Sunday, but Shelby wouldn't take naps on that day. Not one measly little nap. On Monday she didn't take any naps either. And it's not for lack of trying. I put her down, I rocked her, I gave her a bottle, I rocked her some more. If I was lucky she would "fake" sleep for 15 minutes to make me feel like I am a good mom. Then from her bedroom I would her Shelby noises. Ugh. Why is she awake? Later that night she ended up crashing at 6:20 pm. The next morning she woke up at 4 am. Yes, 4 in the morning. I managed to ignore her until 4:30....and then I brought her to bed with Travis and Me. That plan backfired and we all got up at 5. Still no naps taken on Tuesday, even though I tried and tried. She crashed again at 6 pm, but I woke her up at 7:30. She went back to bed at 9 pm. This morning she woke up at 7 and I tried to put her down for a nap at 10 am. She did her "fake" 15 minute nap and now it's 10:40 and do you think she is sleeping? Oh no. She's in her room babbling and kicking her legs and I am on the computer doing my best to ignore her. It's not that I don't want to take care of her...but what gives? What's with the no napping thing? She has to be tired? I mean, I'm tired. Come on....! Well, I better save Shelby from her crib.

That's so sad! Hopefully it's just temporary for your sake.
