I've been struggling with Lily taking 40 minute naps lately. Pretty much every day, her first nap is always 40 minutes. I've tried keeping her up longer, putting her down earlier, etc but nothing really seems to make a difference. I know if I had the time, I could probably get her back to sleep when she wakes from this nap, but with Zoey running around unattended that is just not possible. Very often she also wakes after 40 minutes from her afternoon nap, but since Zoey is napping at that time, I am able to get Lily back to sleep and she'll sleep for another 2 hours or so. Anyway, I've come to count on Lily taking a short morning nap.
So...why is it that when we have PLANS she always ends up sleeping longer?
And then, I simply CANNOT wake her when she is actually having a good morning nap, but if I have planned for it to be short it always seems to end up being long!!! And then of course if I need her to take a long nap, it will always be short. Typical!!
