I remember as a kid I hated nap time....and I took naps until after kindergarden....they were not fun....I felt like everyone else was doing fun stuff that did not include me cuz I was napping....fast forward 30 years and how I miss nap time....I wish every day there was a nap time.....
Now as a mom I loved nap time....it was that glorious quiet time that we all need!...the downtime to either do nothing or something for ourselves....but as kids grow up their naps go away with that....and my last born was done with naps a year and half ago....we just did quiet time for that much needed break....but then when we moved into the townhome they came back.....oh how I missed them and cherished them....but looking back on that she probably only needed them because of all the noise and disturbed sleep she was getting.....now that we are back in a house....the naps are once again gone!....
On Sunday Syd and I took a nap together since I was a little under the weather....well that backfired big time....bed time came and she went to bed....but then was up every half hour for about an hour and half until she finally gave into sleep....and she was up knocking on my office door at 6:03 this morning....she already gets up early enough as it is....we don't need to make it any earlier....so I will officially say unless she or her brother are super sick....nap time is no longer thing in this house.....they are officially done!...
Until they are grown ups and realize how you should have enjoyed them as a kid!
