Nap?

Yesterday Lilly didn’t want to take a nap. You could tell she was really tired, but she was fighting it and refused to go to sleep. We went to Marni’s parents ward because her little sister Katie was playing the violin in Sacrament meeting. So she should have been taking a nap about the time sacrament meeting ended. She didn’t want to though. So we thought maybe she would sleep better if we went to Marni’s Parents house. We went there and tried to get her to sleep for a while, but not luck. So we went back to church. Normally at church if I just walk around the halls, I can get her to sleep pretty easily. So Marni went to Relief Society, while I walked around with her. She finally fell asleep about a half hour before church ended. So of course a half hour later when everyone started getting out of class, she woke up again. We went home and fed her (Marni fed her) and got her to go back to sleep, and she actually slept for about and hour and a half, maybe a little longer. Of course she was sleeping on our bed next to her mom, and she always sleeps better there.
We then went up to Marni’s parents house for dinner. As it got later it was time for Lilly to take another nap, which she did for about 30 min. She usually goes to bed around 8:30 to 9:00, so we put her jammas on, and Marni got her to sleep about 8:30, then we sat and talked for a little while. Probably a little after 9 she woke up as we were getting ready to leave. We figured she would fall a sleep on the way home or soon after getting home. She didn’t. She was way tired but refused to sleep. Marni fed her and tried to get her to sleep a couple of times. Nothing. So then I tried for probably about a half hour walking back and forth in her dark bedroom. She did not want to sleep.
It is times like these that I really want to either work from home, own a business, or be independently wealthy some how so I can be there all the time. I am sure when she gets like that Marni gets frustrated. I probably wouldn’t be able to get her to sleep any easier, just like last night, but at least I would be there to help, to give Marni a break. But for now, I work all day. Dang it!
