The Transition

Sam's nanny had to take some time off recently, so I've been home for an entire week with an overtired toddler who refuses to take an afternoon nap. I realize that he's probably transitioning to one nap a day, but I also know he's a pretty willful child who will just decide not to sleep now and again. Yesterday, at the library, I confessed to another mother that Sam was refusing to sleep because I thought it seemed pretty obvious that he was tired and that I was, thereby, a terrible mother. Her response was, "I remember that stage. I'm sure he'll be taking one three or four hour nap very soon." Yes, lady. I'm sure he will. And by that I mean, I won't be holding my breath.

So, as always, any napping related advice is welcome here.
