Riddle me this. Mini morning nap

[hannamarin]

For the last 5 days, Layla gets up, stays up for about an hour then gets cranky, rubbing her eyes for a little while. I put her to bed. She snuggles with her blanket and pacifier. No sleep, but quiet for 5-10 minutes. Then she plays 5-10 min. Then screams. So I get her out. And she is fine to play for 2more hours. Weird, right?

Is she getting over stimulated?

She used to nap then for 45 minutes. I think she is adapting slowly to dropping that sleep....?
It works for me because she is quiet or happy just long enough for a shower.

My DD does this sometimes too and I don't get it. She acts tired and rubs her eyes, so I put her down, but she doesn't fall asleep. Just the restful, alone time in her crib seems to help. She is definitely nowhere near dropping her morning, nap, though- she always sleeps at some point in the morning.

Oh yeah she went down for the mini nap at 730. And her normal nap at 10. (for 1.5 hrs)
