Questions in parenting???

Well as many of you know, Hailey is a little fire cracker. I love her every day and am so grateful for her in my life, but there are some things, and some days when you just don't know what to do. She is really making some great steps in becoming better behaved (maybe I shouldn't say that?) But she really is such a wonderful child.

Here is goes: I am admitting it, my two year old no longer naps. It is such a sad day for me, especially because I am close to 9 months pregnant and could really use at least a couple more months of naps. We are trying "quiet time", but I worry about leaving her in her crib and falling out because she is sick of it. We have a bed for her but I don't know that I am ready to go through that transition until our baby is at least a couple months old. I have been giving her books and things to do and it seems to work. But, what shall I do after the hour is over and I am still exhausted? I hate letting her watch too much TV, but maybe I need to get over that until summer anyway.

My next question is for you that have already potty trained your kids. Hailey is totally potty trained during the day, but at nap time/quiet time and bed time I put a diaper on her because I am 9 months pregnant and don't want to clean up the mess. I just figure that she will do that part on her own time, is this so? Is there something else that would help her? Not that I really have the energy to put into it anyway. But the whole reason I potty trained her in the first place is because of the whole pooh thing in the crib. (see older posts about this if you want to be grossed out).
