    well guys,My life is over!!


    Hey all .I feel my life is over!! My soon to be four year daughter has out grown her afternoon naps!  She would sleep two hours every day with her little brother and I'd have Mommy  time!! Now I'm in for a change!! I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions on how to keep her occupied and happy till her brother wakes up. All I can really think of is to do crafts and I know that she would love that but I need more!! Please help and wish me luck!!

    You could try to involve her in household chores. Children this age ( boys as well as girls) like to help out. Simple things like sorting the laundry, sweeping up, dusting and tiding up. Weeding if you have a garden.

    Otherwise reading together.

    I used to be such a sweet sweet thing
    Till they gotta hold of me.

    Dont fret about it :) Just ease into it.. DD was 2yrs when she stopped her midday nap! Dont feel like you have to specifically spend those 2 hrs with her, let her find her own things to do during that time. May be like you have your 'mommy time', she can her her own time. Or if you do give her some activities to do, spend 30 mins or so with her, and then let her get on with them herself.
     
    Reading time is good too as suggested by Crazybrit, you can have quiet reading time also, where she can read the books herself, or just QUIET TIME, where she finds activities to get on with quietly....  :)
