The Battle of the Crib (And SAHD Tip Seven)

This one's never ending, it seems.  Now don't get me wrong - I'm not complaining.  El is an incredible sleeper.  She sleeps through most of the night.  The last two nights she went down around 8:30/9:00 and didn't wake up until six.  And she regularly naps throughout the day.  Look at how good she is at it:


But I still do have to fight her on it sometimes.  And the reason, the only reason, it concerns me is because I don't know whether she needs to nap, or I'm forcing her to nap.  I have noticed during the last two weeks that she goes down a lot faster and a lot easier, and she's condensed her four, thirty-minute naps into three slightly longer ones.  So we'll see how this continues to go.  Also, on an unrelated note. . .

SAHD Tip Seven - If you're playing with your kid on the floor or the bed, be sure your crotch is out of leg's reach.  At some point they will get excited and start flailing their feet around indiscriminately, and you will get hit.  Or, as an alternative, make sure you get the inevitable crotch-shot on film to submit to America's Funniest Videos.
