Henry's Nap (or lack thereof)

Henry was really one of the last kids his age that we knew of that still took a nap. We would put him in his room but then it would take him 45 minutes to actually fall asleep. We would then have to wake him up because it got too late in the afternoon. This is what we would find when waking him up...

...curled up with his stuffed animals,



fast asleep on the floor and never in his bed! :-)



If he did take a nap, even when we cut it short, it might be 1030p before he finally settled down and fell asleep.

A couple of weeks ago during what was supposed to be Henry's nap time I walked in to check on him and this is what I found...

...Henry about to climb up on his nightstand!



So we finally had to cut out his nap completely which I did reluctantly. It can make for a very long day especially when Trey works really late or is on call. It means no break for me without one of the kids. I will repeat...VERY LONG DAY! ;-)

I will admit that it is nice to spend the one-on-one time with Henry while Charlotte is napping but that also means that not a single thing around the house gets done during the day. But the one HUGE advantage though? Both kids (and Bunny) completely out no later than 8p but most nights 730p! Whoohoo!



So okay Henry you win! Maybe you would take a nap if you took some of that stuff out of your bed?! :-)
