Lately when Ashley refuses to go to bed with her daddy, I have decided to change her sleeping schedule. Normally she would wake up around 8.30am and takes a nap at 11.30am for about 45 minutes. The next nap would be around 5.30pm until 6.30pm. Due to the nap in the evening, she takes about an hour to fall asleep at night. Since she wants me to sleep with her these days, I want her to fall asleep real fast…hehehe (so that mommy can continue her work). Ashley only naps once now and that is at 2pm and she wakes up around 3pm. I have tried this with her for a week and she dozes off within 15 mins at night. The not so good thing is that I can’t spend much time doing my work at the laptop during her waking hours 
Can’t have everything right?

i’m interested to find out how you managed to keep her awake till 2pm. I tried with Bryan but he konked off at noon….maybe he’s too young for one naps…
bryan’s mama – the first few days she was quite sleepy but luckily she wasn’t cranky or anything. She just played with her toys and didn’t ask for sleep. immediately after her lunch, i let her nap and she konked out in 10 mins
*sigh* you are right, can’t have it both ways. Tee wakes at 8am and naps between 2-4pm. Then sleeps at 9-9.30pm but I’ve been trying to get her to drop her naps which she does some days. Then she knocks off at 7pm till the nest morning. Yahoo!
Unfotunately, when she doesn’t nap, means I have to entertain her the WHOLE day non-stop and this means that despite having free time after 7pm, I am totally knocked out myself to do anything!!! *sigh* Can’t win!
hehe…ya i think it’s good to let her nap earlier, then the night time easier.
Yah.. napping too late .. only makes them not want to sleep at nite. But of course.. even with no nap.. my chloe still donch sleep .. till midnite..!
My girl started to have one nap since 17 mths old. Fall asleep just like in minutes. But still take quite long for her to sleep at night.
