Any tips on getting a two-year old to take a nap? I used to rock her to sleep for her nap, then lay down with her. But for the last ten days or so she has been refusing her naps. Any suggestions?
The other change has been about two weeks ago we transitioned her to sleeping in her toddler bed. She has done so great - never fought or cried. The first week or so she had a really hard time settling down, but now she only takes about thirty minutes to go from getting in bed to sleeping soundly (we take turns sitting next to her bed giving tickles during this time). The only problem we are having is frequent night wakings (she goes right back to sleep as soon as one of us sits next to her bed). Any tips on that would be appreciated, too.
Thanks so much everyone!

One day it just clicked for him and regular naps were thing of the past. I had to readjust my expectations of nap time. I found that he still did benefit greatly from a nap, but I had to take them whenever I could, and I couldn't depend on that uninterrupted quiet time during the day any more. That was a sad day!
