To sleep, perchance to dream - ay, there's the rub

Arianna seems to be in a phase where napping is the worst part of her day...

She has been sleeping, on average 3 hours during the day, usually spread out over 3 naps. It was like clockwork, she'd be up between 6 -7 and then down about 10 for an hour and a half. Well, my mother was watching her today and she only slept for 1 hour total. I got there and her eyes were horribly red and she had big bags under her eyes - its obvious the poor baby is exhausted, but put her down for a nap? No way!

We took a ride down to Mystic, CT yesterday and the best part of the trip was the long ride down - about 75 min. We drove down, stopped at Dunkin' Donuts (white hot chocolate...::drool::) and drove home. We barely stopped the car and Arianna slept the ENTIRE time - she needed it so badly.

But a normal part of her day is spent rubbing her eyes and fussing. You think you can put up with the screaming? After 30 min. I give up...

I can, however, rock her to sleep. This usually takes 20 minutes. I am not hoping that this becomes a ritual with her!

Hopefully she outgrows it soon.
