Nap time is a very treasured time in my house.
Its a time where mommy gets to reflect on the day, catch up on chores, pop in a movie and eat the stash of candy Ive been hiding so well.... Just me time. Thank God I was blessed enough to get 3 kids that fell into each others schedule. Up at 6am. Down for the night at 8.
Now nap time depends..... Some days, Cheyenne will get her nap at 9:30. Then She wakes up at 11 or so and all 3 of them go down for a nap at 2:15 when Savannah gets home. On the days that I am incredibly tired, I keep Cheyenne up until 12 noon. And Joshua and her both go down at 12 for a 2 hour nap. (I try to sleep...but usually do not succeed.)
Anyways, the days that Savannah is not at school are the hardest. Cheyenne gets worn on and takes her nap before they do, so when they go down, Mommy is stuck playing with Chey... :(
Well today she sat here screaming so I put her butt bac in bed, figured she can sit there quietly while the other 2 sleep.....haha ha....ha.Nope.
Im sitting here tinkering with my blog and I hear her say OOw. Plain as day. Now she doesnt say too much real good, but I know she can.....she just wont do it for me.
So Im listening and she says it again,....Ow...Ow....NOO!
I go sneaking in there and shes got her arm stuck up above the elbow in the crib slats....
I thought it was so cute I went in there, picked her up.....Of course she gave me a huge hug and kiss and said Mama...
Then he gave me the "more" sign.
I taught her a few signs, Thats the one that really stuck. So now every morning when she gets up she comes to our bed and does the "more" sign. She only uses it when she wants more food. SO now shes corralated it with eating. Anyways, so I gave her a pop tart and shes coloring,...Me, Im sitting here trying to figure out why I didnt make her wait for nap today....cuz I am TIRED.
Like I said, Nap time is very important in my house:) lol
Not today I guess

naptime is SACRED for me as well. first order of business once the new baby arrives home and i've got the nursing thing down pat, i am SO going to get the kids' nap schedules synchronized! thanks for inviting me to your new blog :)
Oh YaYa. love to read your thoughts =)
MORE was always the first sign and the one that always stuck with my girls too. I'm just starting Evie on solids and am trying to use the MORE sign with her too...not too much luck yet.
I heart naps.
