Anyone have nap problems?

I'm currently on vacation from work and am finding that my DD will not nap for me. At all.

She did for a short time, but has gone back to refusing. She does, however, go down for my MIL and my husband.

I'm wondering if it is the novelty of me being home or the fact that she is out of routine? Or could it be her age and separation anxiety?

Any advice or reassurance would be greatly appreciated.

ETA: See my siggy pic as the ONLY way she will nap with me (and, when she does, she will nap for hours). Another note is that we have NO issues at night.

    It sounds like my weekend! It was just LO and I, and she did not want to nap b/c mama was with her. I think it is the novelty thing - she wants every second she can get with you. I finally laid down on our bed next to LO for the first nap, and at least I could roll over and get away when she was out.  For her other nap, I let her fall asleep on me. I figure, it forced me to just sit down and relax and enjoy her, and I feel like I can't do that too much.

    When she was back at DC yesterday, she napped just fine, like always. Enjoy the time you got to spend snuggling - my LO currently pushes us away because she has better things to do LOL!

    DS was driving me crazy this weekend!  I blame it on not being on a schedule at daycare.  He moves up next month and I cannot wait!!  Naps at school and home got so much better for my DD once she was taking 1 dedicated nap a day-- lights out, go to sleep!
