Nap Time

Perhaps it was getting used to Daddy's no-nonsense nap time regime over the summer or just getting older and not thinking they need as much sleep, but September and the return of school brought all kinds of new antics to our nap time. Here are a few of them.

The Stall Tactics:

1. Getting a drink or two or three.

2. Going to the Bathroom 3. Washing and washing and washing her hands.

(It's her favorite part of potty training, which she insists on doing by herself).

4. Showing Mommy our precious treasures.

5. Placing toys in a convenient (a.k.a. safe) place.

6. Insisting we are NOT sleepy.....

(well, maybe just a little).

When getting checked on:

Hurry back into bed to avoid getting "caught".

then smile...

as innocently as possible.

Stop Jumping!

Politely acknowledge your mother before continuing to converse with sister.

Smile and say "cheese" when noticing Mom's camera.

(Maybe that has something to do with not taking this nap seriously.)

Pretend to be shocked and cover up giggles.

(especially if you already got moved to brother's room for playing)

Sleep like an angel.....

or at least pretend to.

so you can avoid crashing later.
