I know there have been lots of posts about napping but I haven't seen one about this yet. I have a 2yo dcb (just turned 2 in July) who has always napped just fine here. He's been coming since January (part time at first, full time since June). He gets here at 9am so he sleeps later in the morning than the rest of my daycare kids (all others arrive between 7 and 8) but I can't adjust nap time just for him - those 7am kids are TIRED by 12:30!
All of the sudden he's not napping 2-3 days out of the week!!! The routine is ALWAYS the same here - TV show during lunch prep, lunch, diapers/clean up, nap. He sleeps in a playpen in one of the bedrooms with a blanket over the window and a fan on. No books/toys/distractions, dark, cool and just the right amount of white noise. Yet, he will TALK/YELL (not cry, but yell "MAMA" repeatedly) for 2-2.5 hours!!! I'm at my wits end with this!
I know kids will phase out naps over time but he JUST turned 2. Plus, he's an absolute BEAR by 5pm when he goes home. What should I do???
