To Nap or Not to Nap...That is the Question

For the past few months Ella has been resisting her regular afternoon nap. She used to go down easily at 12:30 and sleep until 2:30 when we would head to Atlanta to pick up Gracie. Lately, however, at 1:30 she is still having trouble going to sleep. I finally decided to let her stop napping and decided to see how she did at night. What was the result of my study? Ella would crash around 5 pm thus throwing off her sleep schedule. She wants to be a big girl like her sister, but she just doesn't have the stamina yet. Case in point...

Conclusion: Cinderella still needs her afternoon nap.
