I now "get" that she is too excited to nap when its Mommy and Una time, and have surrendered to it for the most part-it took a shift (and still does some days) for me to accept this! Having a sense of compassion for her, trying to experience it as she must, has helped with my own feelings of agitation/ frustration that she won't nap for me.
