refusing to nap

It's funny how different children can be. Right up to his first day of kindergarten, Eli had "naptime" most days. Even if he didn't sleep, he would quietly play in his bed or look at books (until 3:00). I suppose it helps when you can actually read the books. Noah is at the point where he doesn't need a nap every day, but some days he does. Plus, I really like having a little break during the day. Lately, I have been letting him FILL his bed with toys and books, yet he still can't manage to stay in his room. I find myself getting very frustrated. After an hour of dancing and gymnastics in his room today, I gave up. 20 minutes later, he was asleep on the couch.
