schedule change due to day care - do I just let her stay up?

[legend_018]

almost 19 months old. first day of day care (will be going 2 days a week). I informed them I'd prefer her to nap when I take her home (noon time), but she was upset her first day and got very tired and slept approximately 40 minutes from 10am to 10:40am.

She wants nothing to do with a nap now. It's almost 3pm. What do I do? She usually goes down easily for nap and naps for at least 2 hours. I'm going to spend the next 2 hours getting her down and I'm guestimating she'll finally go down at some point maybe 4pm, 4:30? Who knows. Got a 3 year old too, who isn't going to let me spend an hour or more trying to put Chaunda down.

Hi Mary

I personally would just not bother with it and do an early bedtime. Just me though!

Or some chill out time with mom + books/dvd on the couch?

Oh, you've probably handled this already.  Hope things go/went well.

She was rather wired all day and got very clingy (although she's clingy a lot anyways) and fussy. brought her up at 6pm and she was sleeping by 7pm. She was in deed very tired.

maybe it was after 6pm when I brought her up actually, but not much later.
