All the kids rest on their cots here. They are allowed to read while on their cots. If after an hour they laid quietly and rested they get to play a Leapster in their cot with head phones on so not to wake the sleepers. I bought the Leapsters and games on Kijiji for super cheap as they are older models. I do not go down at all during nap and they know the drill by now. My nap time is 2.5 hrs too.
