Napping

I was thinking yesterday that I needed to update my blog. Hmmm, Shanda, what should you chat about? Serious? Silly? Recipe? Brownie bake-off on Saturday? Avoiding the dishes? Ah, napping.

USUALLY, nap time here is pretty predictable. We eat lunch, then the kids play for awhile before the "naptime video". They get to watch a Diego or Dora video and then it's naptime for everyone. Noel will usually sleep an hour and a halfish, Simon will usually sleep two plus hours, and Garrison will sleep between and hour or two depending on if he had school. Whenever Gary is home, they all sleep longer. I think they want to try and make him think that I have more time during the day than I really do. :)

The past two days have been different. Ugh! Noel fell asleep on the way home from a friends house. She slept for twenty minutes. TWENTY MINUTES! That's it. Certainly, she'll need more sleep. Nope. She slept nada in the afternoon. Crazy girl.

Today, Garrison is refusing to sleep. He is bugging Simon (they share a room), he drops his book (sorry, no more book), he drops his blanket (sorry, no more blanket), he has to go to the bathroom, he has to sing a song, he has to, he has to, he has to. . . .

If he doesn't sleep, he'll be a bear the rest of the day. I don't like to live with bears. Do you? Although. . . they do hibernate at some point. :)
