Nap Time Changes

Last week was an interesting week for Reese's nap times. On Monday and Tuesday she woke up at 7AM! I felt like a new woman after snoozing through the five and six o'clock hours! Thanks to her "late" start to the day, she didn't want to take a morning nap. So, we survived two consecutive days with only an afternoon nap. Even on the days when she woke up before 7 last week she decided to be a one-nap girl. She's not exactly sunshine and happiness all morning long, but when I try to give her an opportunity to nap before lunch she immediately stands up in her crib, throws her elephant out, and jumps up and down crying. (She won't "cry it out"--and throwing the elephant is her new protest move.)I knew the transition to one nap was coming, I just didn't think it would be so sudden. I'm kind of excited, though, because it may mean that we can go to some more events--Baby Bloomers at the Children's Museum and Storytime at the bookstore have always fallen during her morning nap time. Now there's no stoppin' us.
