I feel like our daycare lies to us about the time lol. I wonder all the time how they get them to lay down on the cots and just go to sleep. At home it's an hour process to go to bed.Kandicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06386053746471510050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879614662040394328.post-80937721270189754512013-06-30T18:13:04.563-05:002013-06-30T18:13:04.563-05:00Don't get me started on people who just don...Don't get me started on people who just don't understand that each child and family are different and have different routines and needs lol!

She would be so exhausted when she came home that she would nap from 5-7 and then go to bed at 8. It made me feel like I never got to see her. As soon as she quit daycare, she went back to 2 naps until she was almost 2.shalynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05385043163376997241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879614662040394328.post-21754317952914621262013-06-28T13:29:37.436-05:002013-06-28T13:29:37.436-05:00I think not napping isn't anything to speak to...I think not napping isn't anything to speak to a parent about. Some kids do it well and some kids don't. As you know, there aren't any in-between nappers. I would respond the same way you did :) maybe even sarcastically tell them you'll pay extra IF they get your non-nappers to be great 3 hour nappers AND still sleep at night!

Places like that thrive on schedules and naps are crucial. However, at my old center we had a "no nappers" program where if the parents didn't want there kid napping or if the kid just wasn't a napper, they could go in this other group for naptime..where they did quiet activities. Which helped in letting the other kids sleep. But they can't force a kid or baby to nap! hahaha So they can send all the notes home they want, not gonna change things! Maybe you could mention that they start a "no napper" program lolSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10364801556842061320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879614662040394328.post-85499938860743505762013-06-27T15:47:05.274-05:002013-06-27T15:47:05.274-05:00I have a friend who has a similar sleeper to yours...I have a friend who has a similar sleeper to yours and everyone who watches him just can't believe it. <br /><br />Avery is a terrible night sleeper, but a fantastic napper. So I can't relate on the daycare side of things. <br /><br />I think it's hilarious that you put it in her baby book and went about your day! I would have been so freaked out, when who cares!kkasunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02183334533316759163noreply@blogger.com
