Sleeping Beauty?!?

Oh my sweet darling Ella Rae is trying so hard to drop her afternoon nap. Mommy says, "No Way, Jose!" I have approximately 1.5 hours to myself all day and I really like it and plan to keep it that way for as long as I can! Lately I spend around 45 minutes battling my 2 year old at nap time. I know what you're saying, "Who's in charge at your house lady?" I have turned her lock around, so she can't continue to escape and that works most of the time - she eventually falls asleep UNLESS she completely tears her closet apart - pulling everything out of it and all clothes off the hangers. Ugghhhh. On this particular day I listened and watched on the monitor till there was silence. I went in her room to find this....Sweet girl had put her pillow pet inside her play stroller and fallen asleep inside. Now you're asking yourself if I moved her. NO WAY, JOSE...never wake or move sleeping beauty! (Notice her shoes and slippers she got out of her closet and set on the floor - I wonder what that was about?)

Ella Rae - one day when you're much older, you will want to nap so badly, I promise! I love you!
