She does sometimes sassy, but then she always wakes up when I try to move her into the house.

Sooooooo she woke up when I was in the shower. When I went in her room to get her about 10 minutes later, she had taken out all of the baby clothes from the dresser and thrown them all over the room. Ugh!! It took me more than half n hour to fold everything and put it back. :-/

My daughter stopped napping at two and I never tried to put her down she would always tell me if she was sleepy or not and she's been like that since then :)

Maybe your kid is also done with naps

Does she fall asleep in the car? Haha I ised to take my guy in the car and ride for hours until he was old enough to get him to stay in bed.

My lo stopped napping at 22 months. It was hell for a few months as his body adjusted but now he sleeps 12 hrs at night

So last night was terrible! She didn't go to bed until almost 11 (we put her down at 9). Then she was up again and played in her room from 3-4:30am. :-/

Today, I didn't turn on the TV once. I'm not a big TV person anyway but near the end of my pregnancy (being on bed rest) and now with being a zombie from having a newborn, I've been more lax and let her watch more TV during the day. I realized she wasn't being stimulated enough. So all we did today was play, paint, sing songs, etc. When it was time for nap, I told her when she woke up we could make a special craft and I'd let her watch Bubble Guppies. She went right to sleep!

I'll be keeping this up! Hopefully it continues to work! :-)

My son refuses to nap at 2 as well. To save myself the stress of trying to force a nap we have quiet time instead. About an hour or so of watching a movie cuddled in bed together. So I can get some rest too. Otherwise he is crazy from not resting.

Is her nap time at the same time as your newborn's? She may just be wanting extra attention. If the baby is sleeping maybe you could take a little extra time for a story or some cuddles. Hang in there!

My son HAD to have quiet time. The nap word was an instant no go after two. But we had quiet time until he was 5. Even now I can sense it and say it's quiet time and he is 7. He doesn't have to sleep. He can be in his room reading or he can watch a movie. Sometimes I tell him it's quiet time until the movie is over and put on a longer one. Then I nap on the couch. It worked with me. Quiet time meant laying down so he couldn't get up an play with toys.

There is a 2 year sleep regression, and with new baby - She could be adjusting a bit.

Stick with it! :)

I make her help me clean her room, it just looks like a bomb went off in there after 'nap time'.

She did finally go to sleep today! After an hour of me trying!

My two year old doesn't always nap, but she does great with a quiet time every afternoon. I'll put on a slower paced movie for her and let her snuggle on the couch with a pillow and a cup of milk. An hour or two later, she's refreshed!

Also, she's old enough to pick up her toys! Both my girls pick up their rooms every night before bed, and my youngest is only 15 months! Of course, they need supervision to stay on track and keep motivated, but I sit on the bed and point to where everything goes, and make a huge deal that they're being helpful. They think it's fun, and it saves my life, especially when dd2 was an infant. No reason to wear yourself out cleaning up something she could get herself!

My daughter at 17 months already starts refusing her naps. I'm pretty sure that by 2 years old she won't even want to nap. And I having my new born son in February. :/

She loves her stuffed animals and books and she had managed to obtain quite a collection over the past two years. Now everything is sitting in my hallway! Haha!

I always offer incentives like going to the park, or playing some special game. She gets really excited but as soon as I close the door, she's up and playing.

She's in a toddler bed because she started climbing out of her crib at 15 months. She also climbs the furniture so leaving her in there for "quiet time" in lieu of a nap doesn't work either. :-(

Is she in a toddler bed? Are there too many things and toys in the room? My toddler is still in a crib. The only thing that helps him fall asleep is the iPad. I understand some people are against children having electronics but that's what works for us. He plays on his educational apps and falls asleep peacefully.
