Party Animal

1:00 - 3:00 in the afternoon is a popular time for birthday parties. It also happens to be the same time Grace naps every day. We've gone to quite a few birthday parties over the past 2 months and Grace does really well with missing her nap. She's never been cranky during a party and we've only had a little meltdown when it was time to leave once. She often sleeps on the way home but is still in pretty good spirits for the rest of the day. Even bedtime goes smoothly as usual. I certainly don't want her to give up her nap any time soon, but I'm glad we can skip it occasionally and not have any ill effects!
