DD is 3 years and 1 month old now. Since she turned 3, she started drop nap gradually, from 3 to 1 nap per week. From about 1 month ago, she dropped daytime nap completely, which happend just after the half birthday.
The first 2 weeks was super good, sleep from 6:45pm to 7-7:30am without any problems. But from 2 weeks ago, the NW had started. It happened almost the same time every night, just like every single SR we had before. So now I have 2 questions:
No.1 Does it seem like a half birthday SR to you? Or she is already overtired after more than 20 no nap days?
During these days, she didn't seem tried, even when we drive from play date in the afternoon. And she clearly said she doesn't want to sleep. She would play some pretending games for an hour or so, and then we play together and then dinner time. Just some quiet activities at home for the whole afternoon. And for the bedtime, 6:30 is the earliest I can do. I tried like 15 minutes early but she refused. But yesterday she told me she was tired and want to sleep around 4:30pm, I definitely don't want a late nap because that will lead a super late bedtime like 10 pm.
No2. I am wondering what will happen after your kids dropping nap completely. Do they still need an random nap sometimes? I guess they do just like adults. But how will that happen? Would they ask for it? Or just let it happen naturally like when we are driving or whatever else?
Thanks in advance.
