Nap?!?

I usually post all the sweet lovable things that my precious daughter ( sometimes refered to as monster). However, today I am going to share one of our struggles. So, if you have any suggestions, please feel free to post them or email me. I will take all the help I can get!

So the last two weeks have been a diaster when it comes to Autumn napping at home. She naps fine at her Papaw's house. He's definitely got it down. He sits with her and rocks her and when she's good and asleep he goes and lays her down.

My goal was not to rock her, but since he does it every other day...I figured that I had to as well.
This worked great for most of the school year. However, these past two weeks, she doesn't want to nap at all ( well, at least not at home with me). I started wondering if she was trying to get too big for a nap. Since she thinks she's all grown up now that she's two. But then, by 4:30, she's exhausted and wants to sleep then. But if she sleeps then, she doesn' want to go to sleep at her bed time...which somehow also seems to be getting later and later.

She is definitely running this show right now. It's driving me crazy. I am fustrated with her, and I definitely don't want to be. I seem to waste so much of our afternoon fighting with her to go to sleep that I miss out of the fun times of playing with her. So, today is one of my days at home...so say a quick prayer for me, or send me a tip...and hopefully we will be more successful at this thing called Nap!
