Hannah has always been a big sleeper. She was 18 months before she dropped her morning nap and she still takes a long afternoon nap at almost 4. Hailey doesn't seem to need quite the sleep that her older sister does. She dropped her morning nap at 6 months and although she takes a respectable afternoon nap, I do notice her fading in the morning occasionally. Usually this happens when Hannah is in preschool, prompting me to believe that the real problem isn't so much that she doesn't need a morning nap as it is that Hannah is just too exciting (reading that another way, maybe Mommy is just too boring, LOL). Anyway, I dropped off Hannah at preschool this morning and Hailey and I ran a few quick errands and then came back to the house. Hailey was acting tired so I tried to get her down for a morning nap but she was having none of it. I finally admitted defeat and put her in the exersaucer we keep in our bathroom to contain her while I hopped in the shower. When I got out, I found that she had finally given into the nap. The funny part of course is that it looks like she fell asleep right in the middle of playing. I considered trying to move her but decided instead to let her sleep. She actually slept like this for almost an hour before I had to wake her to pick up Hannah from preschool. Guess when you are a kid, you really can sleep anywhere!

Oh, that's so precious. Sam did that in his high chair a couple weeks ago. He's given up the morning nap too unless we're in the car, and he conks out while driving to/from picking up Chris from preschool.
