...a two-year-old who won't nap. Utterly infuriating! She's lying in her bed alternating between cute sing-songy play and downright belligerent demands yelled at her mother. "Mommy? Mommy, can you hear me?! I don't want to take nap! Get me out NOW!" Brief silent pause, then "itsy, bitsy spider-man went up the water spout." I don't know who told her it was Spider Man that went up the water spout, but she's convinced.
I really would be fine with her not napping if she would play quietly like her big sister. But this is a foreign concept to a toddler. That's why they are supposed to take naps. 'Cause if you're too loud during quiet time, then mommy doesn't get her nap and that's just bad for the whole house. Never mind that a toddler who won't nap is predisposed to lots of discipline as the afternoon stretches into evening.
And so mommy stands in front of the computer and tries to lose herself in bloggy world while eating chocolate and trying to make up the day's water intake. But don't think I can concentrate to really write anything significant or worthy of your reading. That will have to wait for another day.

It may be time to introduce C to the kitchen timer, and an earlier bedtime at night :-)
My little ones like to race to see who goes to sleep first. Maybe C would race you to sleep. Of course there is some sort of prize when they wake up. My little guys always seem to tie :-)
love you, sis.
