About 6 weeks ago we found that Cassie’s afternoon nap was starting to affect her night time sleep, but we decided that afternoons would still consist of a rest time for her.
2:00pm – She begins by lying in her top bunk reading books (well, kind of reading, kind of looking at pictures). After Jay falls asleep below her she is allowed to come down and play quietly. Two hours is a long time for her to play alone (she is a BIG extrovert), but it is so good for her and her imagination. She plays ‘school’ with her dolls, sets up the farm animals, enjoys her play mobile set, does puzzles and colours.
Right now ‘quiet’ play is actually quite loud. She is ‘leading’ the singing at her pretend church. Good thing Jay has already woken up. Now they will play together in their room until rest time is over at 4:00pm. Hopefully without any screaming or fighting. Ah… siblings :)
