Napping is a battle everyday between Haley and myself. I know she's tired, yet she uses her last fuel of energy to go strike and protest everyday. If we were in the car where she has to sit still, she will fall asleep easily. If she skips nap, she will be very cranky for the rest of the evening. I feel bad every time when I have to threaten her for her take nap. I think my temper over this issue is hurting our relationship, and I am trying hard to find a way to change myself. I did it! I did it without all the frustration, yelling, or mean warning in the last few days. Thanks to God for walking me through as I kept doing those "microwave prayer" to ask for His help. He helped me kept my cool. It's HARD but I conquered in the last few days!!! I wish I can continue but sometimes I refused to pray for help as venting my anger through yelling and mean warning is much easier instead of holding it within. For Haley and my own sake, I will ...I CAN...
Some research says children age 3 may begin to give up their afternoon nap. Haley is never a "sleep" child...guess I will just find her lots of activity to burn her energy, so she will go to bed early and have a good night of rest.
