Well, it was bound to happen.

Ana finally gave up napping.

The majority of her friends have already stopped napping. I knew it was going to happen eventually but I was certainly in no rush. I was especially happy that Ana still took naps when I was pregnant and during Hadley’s early days because it made it easy for me to grab a nap for myself every now and then. But lately on the rare occasion that Ana would fall asleep during the day she had a hard time going to bed at night. Since she has to get up for school in the morning, I wasn’t really happy about her delaying bedtime and losing her much-needed sleep. So we took the plunge and simply omitted her nap.

There were a few days of grumpy attitudes and more whining that usual. And if we go for a car ride after 3pm I can almost guarantee that Ana’s head will start to tilt to the side and her eyes will get glassy and start rolling back in her head. But those occurrences are getting fewer and farther between.

It’s hard to believe my little girl is getting so grown up.
