I'll nap when I'm ready!

Nap time has been a difficult time lately.  Sometimes Kendall can't wait to rest, while other times she wants nothing to do with it.  With her now in a toddler bed, it's harder and harder to keep her down.  She sleeps great at night, but for some reason, she now hates to nap at home.

During those difficult days, we've tried everything that we can think of to get her to nap.  A consistent routine, soothing moments before bed, negotiating, removal of favorite toys, and bribery.  Lately, I've been blocking her doorway with a baby gate, so that she can open her door and look out if she needs to.  But, this forces her to stay in her room for a while and at least play quietly.  Even this strategy is hit or miss.  Take today for example:
