The Secret to Sleep

As you will recall we are having some trouble putting our princess down for bed and getting her to stay there. (knocking on wood) the last two nights Matt and I have each read a book to her then told her good night. Both nights she has been in bed before 9:30!!! That is huge for someone that was refusing to stay in bed as late as 10:30 or 11:00 most nights!
The bed time fight for us had a price, NO NAPS. Both days Calyn did not take a nap. That was the only difference in her day to day routine. We still plan on enforcing a quiet time but I think at this point will stop enforcing the nap. Obviously if she is tired or seems like she needs one we will still encourage one but we may not let her sleep more than an hour. She was still taking 2 to 3 hour naps sometimes.
We will see how this goes and see if this truly does seem like the solution to our problem so far we are 2 for 2.
