Sleep Strike

     Somewhere between 11 and 12 months old, Laura weaned herself down to one, gloriously 3-hour long afternoon nap (before that she would maybe nap for 30 minutes twice a day. It was awful.) But, last week, about four of the seven days Laura flat out refused to nap. Going from three hours to zero was a little dramatic, in my opinion, and it's not even like she could make it to her usual bedtime without crashing. I was terrified she was trying to give up naps all together until I found out that an 18-month sleep regression is not uncommon. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that we took the cardboard out of her window and the rail off the side of her crib during that week. ;) Thankfully she seems to be getting back into some semblance of a sleep routine now.     
     We are trying to transition her to a big girl bed, and we thought it was going well:
     But, apparently she was telling the truth when she said 'no'. Ha.
     Oh well, we'll try again later.
