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.

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
