Question
We are struggling with nap-time. My 3 yr girl and 2 yr boy always take a nap in the afternoon. If they are at their grandparents’s house and are in separate rooms they go to sleep quickly. But if they are taking a nap at home where they share a bedroom it’s a battle to get them to sleep since they keep each other awake. If they don’t have a nap it’s bad news and we have a very rough evening. Sundays are the hardest because we have morning service, come home for lunch and naps, and then go back for evening service. There isn’t much time to run around and play between things so they aren’t as worn out. But I need a nap between services (I’m three months pregnant) and can’t sleep if they are being noisy. We have tried all sorts of things but are struggling to find the key. They have to learn how to sleep in the same room together since we are in a small two bedroom apartment. They do fine sleeping in the same room at night but struggle with nap-time.
