When your 2yr old started messing about at nap time, what did you do?

Did you give in straight away or did you fight for a while?

DD and mindee are both 2 and this past week have been playing up at naptime, throwing things out of the cot, laughing at each other etc but if they don't have a nap they are both miserable and have tantrums all afternoon, yesterday I drove round for 30 mins before coming home after we had been out and they both slept for 1-2hrs, today we have been out walking and both are definatly tired but fighting it, I have put mindee up first so they don't distract each other and after about 10mins of crying has gone to sleep. Dd2 who instegated the naptime refusal is still up having her pudding and I'm wondering how I should be dealing with this? Should I just accept the fact they are not napping in the afternoon anymore?

Ok since i started typing this, dd2 has now gone up and is chatting to herself, i'm crossing my fingers very tightly that she goes to sleep and doesnt wake mindee.

Any words of advice?

hi sorry just returning, these fireworks are driving me mad!!!

Yeah your dead right, I really must approach them, they are at home all day as the wee old man is house bound and his wife cares for him.

I have seen her but as she has just moved in I think both of us feel awkward approaching the subject.!!!

thanks for caring.
