The Price of Naptime


So, I've come to realize, you CAN put a price on naptime, and apparently it's over $1000!
Sage starts Preschool in a couple weeks (crazy). I found out, after the fact, that our school district started UPK (which is free 5-day preK). I got on the waiting list, and found out I would be able to get in after all, but only for the afternoon session which runs 1pm-3:30pm. So, I was faced with a awful choice because that time frame falls into naptime. Ryder goes down great for his naps, but only when he's tired. This preschool time would also mean Sage wouldn't take naps M-F, and Sage, without a nap, is a awful thing. She didn't take naps for about a year, and I thought her crankiness and moodiness was just her being a girl. It wasn't until I re-introduced naptime that I realized she was just tired. So, she has been taking naps, everyday, for about 6months now. Well...I decided the stress of dealing with all that isn't worth it. As much as I would LOVE to take advantage of FREE PreK....it's not worth it.
