Adventures in Napping

Flora has recently moved from the crib to her Big Girl Bed. Nighttime is never a problem. She stays in her bed and goes right to sleep. Naptime, however, is always interesting. She never cries or whines, but she doesn't go right to sleep either. A typical naptime routine goes something like this:

12:47pm -- Put Flora into bed for her nap.
12:48pm -- Quietly walk out of the room and leave the door cracked open a little bit.
12:52pm -- Hear the door SLAM shut.
12:53--1:32pm -- Listen to Flora talking and playing in her room. Attempts to re-open the door are futile as it will immediately be slammed shut again.
1:33pm -- Notice that there are no more noises coming out of Flora's room.
1:34 pm -- Crack open the door to see where Flora has fallen asleep.
1:35 pm -- Quietly move Flora from her current location into her Big Girl Bed.
1:36 pm -- Assess the damage/mess Flora made while playing herself to sleep.
3:49 pm -- Hear the rattle of a doorknob signaling that Flora is awake and ready to come OUT.

Naptime in Big Girl Bed, Day 1

Notice the disaster-area that was previously a very clean room and the little lump in a pink shirt on the rocking chair.

Naptime in Big Girl Bed, Day 2
Forget the bed. She is settling down in the chair.

Where she eventually crashed.


Naptime in Big Girl Bed, Day 3
Asleep behind the door, but not before emptying out most of her dresser drawers. It took some maneuvering to get in there without waking her up or pinching her toes!!

Naptime in Big Girl Bed, Day 4
I'm calling this a success!!!
