1 or 2 naps

Lily is down for a nap right now. She is almost 17 months old and we are at this "transition" time of going from 2 naps to 1. It seems like we are always at a state of "transition" with these little people! They grow and change SO fast! But anyway, I have been kinda stressed lately because Lily's nap schedule is changing and most of the time I don't know what to do. Should I keep her up and enforce a lunchish nap time? Should I play each day by ear and sometimes give her 2 naps? What happens when she wakes up at 5am do I still keep her up for a lunchish nap? Ugh. I ask myself and my husband these questions everyday now. Today, she is prolly going to take 1 nap. And she will most likely be super grumpy by 5pm. I just can't wait until she is on a "regular" nap schedge again. I am sure when that time comes it will be time for the paci to go away and we will be at another "transition" moment. Fun times.

On another note: LILY IS AWESOME.

why do babies need naptime? don't they just fall asleep on their own when they get tired?

they are growing and learning so much they don't want to miss a thing. it is hard because they don't know what's best for she just wants to learn more and hang out. if she gets too tired there is a snowball effect of tiredness that makes life SOOOO difficult.

Good news though - she is getting better about 1 nap and isn't too terrible come bedtime :)
