Thought of the day: It has been difficult to put Lila down for an afternoon nap lately. On some days she didn't need a nap, but on the days when she really needed one she often refused to nap anyway and ended up with a dinner time meltdown. Today I found a solution which may not be recommended by a pediatrician but it worked out well, at least for one day. I took her on a bike ride around nap time and she fell into sleep on the way. I parked the bike securely and made her more comfortable by lowering the bike seat. She continued napping on the bike for another hour or so before waking up happy. So this might just be the solution: take her on a bike ride and let her decide whether to fall into sleep or not. That way I will get in some exercise and she will get some outdoor air, do a little sightseeing, and maybe even get in some sleep once in a while. Difficult time calls for desperate measures and this is one that I am willing, or maybe even happy, to try.
