If he doesn't get it, the rest of the day is difficult for everyone. So I'd rather be home for that mid-day nap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-anal-about-your-toddlers-nap#post-1241165 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 11:05:58 +0000 autumnlove 1241165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer being at home but she is pretty flexible and she can take a long nap or skip it and be ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-anal-about-your-toddlers-nap#post-1241160 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 11:05:08 +0000 mrs. wagon 1241160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! at almost 4 we still schedule days around naps. But we can do car naps for Wagon Jr. which helps with being out and about. LMW not so much, so we stay home a lot! It's temporary though... soon enough they won't have a nap at all and we'll be begging for a break in the middle of the day ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-anal-about-your-toddlers-nap#post-1241157 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 11:04:36 +0000 looch 1241157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, but my son's nap is a little later, so it's easier to do something in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-anal-about-your-toddlers-nap#post-1241151 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 11:03:12 +0000 pinkcupcake 1241151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 21 month old naps once a day, usually from 11:30 - 1:30. She sleeps the best in her crib so I always try to be home for her nap, and 99% of the time, I'm able to do that. This weekend, though, we were out and about - children's museum, lunch with friends, etc - and she didn't get to nap at her usual time. She napped for about 30 minutes in the car but that definitely wasn't enough, and while she held up decently, she was definitely cranky and didn't sleep well at all at night.</p> <p>A lot of people think I'm kinda crazy because I am so protective of her naptime, but she is just so much happier (and so am I!) when she is well-rested. It's just hard to do a lot on the weekends when we have to be home right in the middle of the day :( </p>
