the power of the nap

Baby naps are a magical thing. PM (pre-mom) I was clueless as to how long a baby would need to sleep during the day.

And it is amazing how much can be accomplished while she sleeps. Knowing I have a time limit, I am a woman on a mission. Cleaning, organizing, getting to my never ending "list", cooking, laundry, gardening etc. If I had the whole day wide open to accomplish this stuff I would probably end up doing nothing. (I know this by personal experience PM). It's the limited time frame that is my motivation.

But. BUT. Now that summer is here I find myself getting a little impatient with her sleeping. Not that long ago I would LIVE for her naps but I now find myself wishing she would wake up so we can go do something fun. This warmer weather is great for getting outside and doing stuff. I am so glad I have a good napper but do nearly one-year-olds really need two 2-hour naps a day?!

  1. I think I took the old adage "Sleep when they sleep" a little too far because I still nap when she does! You are an inspiration.
