Quiet time?

Our 2 year old, Bubblegum, has stopped napping.  Well, actually, he would still nap but then he would stay up past 9 pm.  Munch was already off naps, for the most part, for the same reason.  Now I am trying to find something to replace that much needed break in the middle of the day.  I googled it, and wouldn't you know, there are thousands of moms doing the same thing!  Here are some great links to check out if you are in the same boat:

I am on day 3 of implementing quiet time.  So far, Bubblegum cried one day and feel asleep the next.  I will let you know how the week pans out.  

Do you have any good tips? I would love to hear them.
