Five reasons why naps are a good thing

Nothing exudes my lack of parenting skills more than the fact that my kids are horrible nap takers. Both Pearl and Cole struggle taking naps. Neither one of them have taken naps at the same time in the day... that's on days I'm lucky to get them to nap at all... let alone sleep a consistent amount of time. I don't get it. Cole is way better than Pearl ever was but most days he takes a 40 minute nap once. Hence, the "personal time" blogging late into the night.

But Friday I got lucky. Cole took a two hour nap. I almost didn't know what to do with myself. I sort of puttered around the house after about 45 minutes thinking any second he'd wake up. So I never started anything. I should have done a mad dash through the house dusting, mopping, and folding laundry. When Cole did finally wake up, he was happy as a clam. Smiling, laughing, playing, and just a happy baby.
And this my friends, is why naps are a good thing when they finally do come around this place. Too bad they don't come around here more often.
