She isn&#8217;t unhappy most of the time, just talking to herself and playing. Eventually she falls asleep and gets a good nap.<\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/boydsnest.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/01\/img_6042.JPG' alt='The anti-napper' class=\"alignleft\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Since this weekend, however, Lucy has been boycotting the naps altogether. After a solid 90 minutes of chattering, squeaking bedsprings, and some intermittent crying, Jon and I enter Lucy&#8217;s room to find a very excited, sort of happy, but clearly overtired child. After this morning&#8217;s nap (so-called), we discovered that she had been chewing on &#8220;her paper mobile&#8221;:\/news\/2006\/the-lucy-files-week-7-day-2\/ that was now within her grasp. Baby-proofing, here we come! Peeking in on her during this afternoon&#8217;s nap-time, we could see her standing and doing her little wobbly dance moves in the corner of her crib. She never did sleep at all. Sigh.<\/p>\n<p>p{color:gray}. Photo: Caught in the act! Lucy&#8217;s clearly not too chagrined about pulling down and chewing up her hand-made paper mobile.<\/p>\n<p>This seems to be just a phase we&#8217;ll need to endure, since it&#8217;s likely her developmental growth that is keeping her awake. And we are thankful that she is sleeping hard and long all night. But we do wish there is something we could do to soothe our little red-eyed friend to sleep. Until then, we might just need to put her to bed early and hope for the best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, the good news is that Lucy has gotten pretty skilled at pulling herself to a &#8220;standing position&#8221;:\/news\/2007\/crib-corn\/.
