Our girls do not take naps very often anymore. If they don't nap, they will go to bed around 7:30 or 8:00 PM and sleep until 6:00 AM or later. If they do have a nap, then it is generally not a good idea to put them to bed until 9:00 PM, otherwise they will lay there awake for a long time. While they are laying there awake, they will mostly spend their time trying to think up new excuses for getting out of bed.
Anyway, sometimes we as parents need a nap when they don't. So we have taken to doing the time honored tradition of "Quiet Time" periodically. They have to settle down in their rooms with books for a short period of time.
Sometimes we check on them after a little while and we will find something along the lines of the following picture. It is always so cute.
