We have been in this place with Henry (almost 3yo) for 9 months now. He won’t nap but he still needs one every couple days. If he doesn’t nap, by 4pm he can be a terror. But if he does nap, he doesn’t go to sleep until 10pm. You see my catch-22?
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while – you may know already my love for sleeping kid pictures. Here are a couple I have snapped in the last few months during this transition. Poor guy, he so clearly needs a nap.

I’m a the ULTIMATE sucker for sleeping babies and kiddos. I plan my newborn photography sessions WHEN wee ones are sleeping. There is nothing so sweet and innocent!!!!!!
Your little man is just precious, just precious. So adorable. Will you have a “quiet” time instead of “nap” time.

Hey Katherine!
We have been doing a “quiet time” for about 2 hours in the afternoon. It mainly includes him watching a movie or having computer time.
My reasoning is that if he is tired enough to nap, he would more likely do it if he is watching a movie and not fully engaged in something.
I would love other ideas…anyone????
