This is what nap time has become at the Kneifl house, and I have a pretty good feeling that it is MY fault. Lily used to lay right down in her crib and play for a while and then she would drift off to sleep on her own. When I am home from work I like to cuddle with her in my arms and we nap together. When I put her in her crib and she knows that Mom is home she cries and cries until Mommy comes to her rescue. This is a snapshot of today's naptime. She was like "Hey, Mommy is home. Why did she put me in here?!" I have some things I would like to get done around the house today so I can't take a nap with her even though I would love too! The poor thing is in her room shaking the crib rails as we speak with big tears and snot bubbles pouring down her face. I feel horrible, but I know she will soon cry herself to sleep, and that this is her mother's fault. I hate it now that she can pull herself up and that she grabs a hold of her crib and shakes the rails. She just sits in there on her little knees waiting for Mommy. It tears at my heart, but I think it is time to break the bad habit we have created.
