Why sleep by myself?

Anna says, "If I cry, Mommy will come get me and let me sleep on her. So why should I bother sleeping upstairs?"

While Anna sleeps fine in her bassinet at night, she doesn't seem to like to take naps in there during the day. It seems odd, but I guess she has come to associate the bassinet with night sleeping only. Besides sleeping on top of me during the day she will also nap quite well in her bjorn carrier or her swing.

Now, I do enjoy letting her take one or two naps on top of me each day, which is probably how we got to this point. I enjoy watching her so much - especially when she partially awakens with a few funny faces and noises, adjusts herself, and falls back to sleep. And now that I've mastered the art of one-handed typing (right now), I can even get something done.

However, she now specifically seems to not sleep well upstairs during the day. I guess she is starting to be aware enough of her surroundings to have habits. So now that she seems to be developing specific habits, I feel I should be more aware of what habits she is developing. So we're working on the upstairs nap. I've decided not to stress about it too much - for instance, today Anna had two 20 min. naps in her bassinet, but by 1:30, when she had not had a real nap since waking up at 9:30, I just let her sleep on top of me for a good 3 hour nap. At some point we may have to sacrifice a day's sleep to get used to the upstairs naps, but for now, we'll just try it little by little :)
