Frustrations

I was a bit frustrated on Wednesday night.  I have talked with Katie and Allie's teachers numerous times about limiting their naps while at school.  At home, my children do not nap.  Todd thinks I am a bit ridiculous but I am telling you that my children sleep better and go to sleep earlier when there is no nap.  I really tried to be the nice parent and be super nice when I approached Ms. Kelly and Ms. Autumn at New Horizons. Most days they are at school, they sleep one and one-half to two hours.  That is just not acceptable.  I know that it is sometimes easier on the teacher if the kids nap, but if a parent requests a nap to be limited to 30 to 45 minutes, I feel that there should be some follow through.  On Wednesday night, I found out that Katie slept for one and one-half hours at school.  I was mad, being that I specifically told their teachers on Monday that 45 minutes was the max for their nap.  Katie, not surprisingly was up until 10:30PM.  So, on Thursday I sent an email to the director of their school.  I was super impressed with her follow through and she ensured me that there will be some follow through with their nap schedule that I suggested.  Let's keep our fingers crossed!
