I promise that I will add al of what I've missed in the last few months, but right now.....
An Ode to Nap-Time
Oh naptime, how I miss thee.
My most precious hour (sometimes two).
Your silence - golden.
Your stillness - sweet.
My hour to choose what I will do.
I could read, shower, watch what I wanted to tv, or (drumroll please)even sleep!
But alas, those days are gone.
You see my kids no longer will take a nap. Sometimes they will lay down, but rarely anymore will they sleep.
I knew this day was coming, as well as it should.
But my friend, out time now comes to an end, and I must say goodbye.
As Nicolas will be going to Kindergarten next year, I have known that this is the summer that his naps would stop. However I didn't realize that Grace would no longer want to take a nap most days either. (I'm still not sure that she's ours, she requires very little sleep.) Maybe it is the fact that 5 year old boys cannot be QUIET!

Have you guys tried 'quiet time' in their rooms...books and whatnot? I have friends who do that and it works well.
ReplyDeleteWe do try that, but between peeing and drinks and such...I need to get tougher! Still waiting for your sleep nazi post!
ReplyDeleteMust be a girl thing. Our Lydia gave up naps early too.
