Sleepy P

So we are beginning to experiment with the dropping the nap. I'm surprised we have made it this far! Pallie and Duncan have been having shortened naps for a month or so now. While this seems to be working for Duncan, Pallie is proving a bit trickier to find the right balance. Part of this may be that she always has difficulty when her schedule is altered like for our trip to Nashville last week. So starting Monday we have been letting her quietly read in her bed then take a shorter nap. Monday this worked great and she loves "reading" so that was exciting. Yesterday, she went in her room where she naps before nap time and began reading and at some pint fell asleep. Well she must have slept longer than I realized because last night at 9 pm she was wide awake partying. Consequently, she slept in this morning. Normally I get them up at 7 but by 7:30 they were all still quiet. Finally I went up and everyone but Pallie was awake. I got them out and dressed and while I was dressing everyone else, Pallie fell back to sleep on the playroom floor!! I got everyone in the table for breakfast, Pal ate a few bites then fell back to sleep again! She finally perked up and played the rest of the morning. Just now I got her up after her reading and an hour nap, not twenty minutes later I find her asleep , in MY bed!!! Haha poor thing she will figure this schedule out soon...
