We were out for activities and it was way past her nap time. She was sleepy (from her half closed eyes) but apparently, like the books said, she was more interested in playing than napping. She would lay down and start to fall asleep, and suddenly, something catches her attention and she'll sit right up and be active again. I laid down in bed with her for an hour and she did that for that whole hour. She'll lay down and roll around, then out of the blue she'll sit/stand up and go around touching things. And she was doing that over and over again. The moment I thought she might be falling asleep (although her eyes were never fully closed while laying down) she gets up and play.
I was so frustrated as I was tired too but can't close my eyes (worried that she might fall). So I had my eyes 1/4 opened, not fully open cos she'll be playing with my face (poke my nose and eyes or stuff her pacifier to my mouth) and not go to sleep.
After that hour, I decided to put her in her crib and went to take a shower. Guess what? 20mins later, she's asleep.
Don't wish to let her cry to sleep, but that might be the way to go.
