Naps....

Thank you kidlove. When I read over my original post I couldn't help but laugh because it's obvious that I knew what I *should* do......but like you say, "it takes a lot of WILL!". Parents want what is best for their children, sometimes we need to take a step back, take ourselves out of the picture and control the situation from the child's point of view. (In this case she wants/needs to sleep, but she feels most comfortable with me so she will cry until I get her unless she cries herself to sleep and gets used to/comfortable with the routine again.)

I really do appreciate the comments, it's nice to have the support and people to "talk it out" with!
