Failing at nap and bedtime…help please!

Nadine

My daughter is almost two and nap and bedtime is always a fight. My husband and I are at a loss. We’ve had the same bedtime routine since she was a baby. Bath, milk/Cheerios, we read two books and sing and then bed. The last month or so, she’s constantly fighting the getting ready for bed process. Bath time is fine, but as soon as she gets out, she’s running around the house. Not wanting a diaper, flailing getting her sleeper on…opening and closing her bedroom door…hiding behind her curtains. We have been trying giving her two choices(e.g., would you like to hop to your bedroom or would you like mama to carry you?). Everything we try just doesn’t seem to work and we are struggling every night. I miss the calm bedtime routine we had. We would love to hear what you are all doing and if it is working!! Thank you!!
