Marin and sleeping

Marin has never been a child who needs much sleep and she can function very well with a missed nap or a late bedtime.  Now that she is getting older she does get a bit mean when she is sleep deprived but it takes a long time.  She also does not like to miss anything so if there is any action she will fight sleep until she passes out just about anywhere.  She has also begun giving up naps about 50% of the time so on those days she is so tired at 5 but we have to keep her up until at least 7 since she gets up at 6 am no matter what time you put her to bed.  So today was a no nap day and here she is at the dinner table at 5 pm.  We were cracking up.
