Since having Ella, the one thing that Gracie gave us a hard time with was bedtime and nap time. After a week of having issues, we decided to come up with a new rule for both times.
For nap time, she could bring books in her bed and just had to be quiet for an hour. Typically, she falls asleep before the hour is up and is covered in books! Bed time now starts at 8:30 instead of 9 and she gets 30 minutes to play in her room/read books in her bed. Silly kid loves her books, typically she will read instead of choosing to play! She is also usually asleep and covered in books when we check on her at 9! It has been working so well, this new routine is a perfect balance between what Grace wants and what we want!
