Take a Nap, Kid!

My 3-year-old has decided that she doesn't need a nap any more. Well, WE need her to nap. The quiet time in the afternoon is essential for us, and if she doesn't nap, she's exhausted by 7pm.

Unfortunately, her room is a southern exposure room, which means she gets lots of direct sunlight in the afternoon.

We decided to get some room darkening curtains to block the light. That helped by making it nice and dark. So she started to get up and turn the light on. lol

Fortunately the light in her room is on a ceiling fan, so we can turn it off with the chain at the fan...even though she can reach the wall switch, she can't turn it on.

Eventually we added an air purifier to make some white noise. If she is even slightly tired, that knocks her right out. :)
