oh, and I give up

As I sit here, I am listening to my children NOT nap.  Which I have decided is the best I can do for now and for the next 5 to 6 months.

It is ok if you judge me.  I am not looking for approval.  We have 3 bedrooms.  We turned one into a playroom so that I could live "mostly" a clutter free life in the rest of the house.  The twins share one room and we (which includes husband and soon-to-be b3) will share the other room.

I have tried everything to get them to nap separately and together.  It is very frustrating and stressful to fight day after day over naptime.  So I decided I am not fighting anymore.  We are not going to play musical rooms or musical nap spots.  The twins are going to sit/play/tear each others hair out for 2 hours a day.  And I am not going in there.  (Unless I hear blood curdling screams).  I'm just not.  One day when the novelty of spending 2 hours in a room together wears off and they realize how very tired they are, they will nap again.  Until then, they can do whatever they want and I will put them to be an hour earlier.

These kids are awesome and I just feel that fighting over naptime isn't worth it.  As long as they are in their room, they can do whatever they please:-)
