One of my more brilliant additions to our Fall schedule (full schedule details to arrive next week!) has been the generous allotment of time devoted for naps. We're all getting up earlier, we're all more tired! On Monday, I was more than ready to catch a quick nap with the girls! Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday found me feeling much perkier and able to carry on without one. Today however, my sleeping adjustments had caught up to me and I was counting down to nap time all day! Unfortunately, while my middle two were as tired as I was, My oldest and my youngest really weren't buying it.
After trying very unsuccessfully to rest with a squirming eight month old, I thought of something brilliant! "Lydia, would you quietly play with Ella while Mommy rests?". "Sure!!!".
It was such a grand idea! The two played happily and silently five feet away from me. But there was a problem I hadn't counted on. I couldn't keep my eyes off of them! They were so precious, that I knew this was a moment I didn't want to miss!
Life is speeding by. Some opportunities are simply too priceless to sleep through!
