My kids are, thankfully, really great sleepers and always have been. However, once Jocelyn came along, I dropped getting Miles down for his afternoon nap and he never looked back. I had always believed that naps were so important for kids and felt bad watching him be so strung out by dinnertime, but we both just gave up trying to get him down. Well, naps are seemingly back for Miles and I have to say that I feel pretty successful when I can get both kids down at the same time. (It’s only happened twice now, so it’s early to say this if this will lucky streak will continue.)

Look at these little punkins, asleep at the same time in two different levels of the house. My greatest success of today, getting them down at the same time!

I’m serious, it feels like I just completed a marathon or something. I stand in the middle of my quiet house, with so many possibilities that I barely even know where to begin! I don’t know how anyone could ever be bored. I could fill a lifetime of afternoon naps doing all sorts of fun things without even leaving my house. Now it’s nighttime and the kids are in bed and I have an hour or so before bed. I’m off to whittle away at that stack of books I want to read, that office I need to organize, that overflowing laundry basket, those RAW files to edit, those baby legs to sew, those covered buttons to make, that episode of How I Met Your Mother on DVR, that sock monkey to sew…or I’ll blog. wink
