Utter indifference

BC is in a refusing-to-nap stage, which is driving me absolutely nuts. It's a willful refusal, not an inability. She talks and talks and talks in her room until she's whipped herself up into a frenzy of giddy chatter, all the while fighting the sleep she really needs, and she ends up falling asleep at 6:30 p.m. after we've eaten dinner, and waking up at her bedtime. Needless to say, this is beyond irritating.

Today, I tried a disappointed tone with her and said, "Mommy is extremely disappointed in you that you won't take a nap." She looked me full in the face and said, "Yeah, that's maybe the problem. [pause] Can I get some milkies?"
