Still Go To Sleep When The Baby Does, Even Though She's So Not A Baby Anymore
I do this too, but yesterday morning, I had to get up at 5 for work. When it came to bedtime, I was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as it was Ellie's bedtime. I didn't wake up again until 5:30, which is amazing for me. It makes me realize that I would probably sleep better if I stayed up a bit later.
Stephanie, I think I am really out of it. Did you get the job where you hoped you'd be able to commute?
The kids are completely uninterested in napping.
I volunteer to nap in their place.
Dana, that's what I'm thinking.
Naps are wasted on the young.
But what if Dana accidentally wakes up? I think we need more volunteers, just to be safe.
And you know, I wouldn't ask anyone to nap without being willing to nap myself....
When I was young, I was always annoyed by my mother's nap habit--had to be quiet, couldn't go anywhere in the afternoon, etc.
Now I want one.
Two suggestions for improving nap time: 1) inject feline DNA into nap subjects; followed by 2) introducing sunbeams into the napping area.
ETA: Sunbeams are a powerful enough nap motivator for the feline DNA that it even redirects the subjects from the topic of snacks.
Seize the moment. One cannot step nap in the same river sunbeam twice.
