I do have a question about this "quiet time" you bring up. She will stay in her room, I have giving it 30 minutes, but quiet is not the term I would use. She talks, sings, and plays the whole time. Today I finally turned off the monitor so I would have quiet time. SHould I be enforcing the "quiet" part? I have always thought that down time for any age, child and adult, is great, but I am not sure how I can get her to be realize "quiet" for that long.

Erratic naps is not helping. THat means that one day we went somewhere in the car at 6 p.m. and she fell asleep. Then she cries when we get her out because she is tired. Then yesterday she went to her room on her own, crawled into bed, and fell asleep at 4:45! This is bad for us because if she ever slept past 3 p.m. for a nap it would mean she was going to be staying up late that night.
