A grat list that is all about naps

Submitted by dynamom on Wed, 05/14/2008 - 6:16pm.

1. 2 yo E, who has had 1 hour + crying jags at naptime the past two days in a row, went down without a fuss today.

2. 2 month old Z takes a nice long long afternoon nap at the same time as E.

3. I really really needed a nap today and took one.

4. The nap I took was a good 30 minutes, which is long for me. I'm the queen of the 10 minute power nap and it's so frustrating when I clearly need longer than that but just can't do it. (sleep issues!)

5. Took a nap in one of my favorite napping spots: the little teeny blue couch in the dining room, all curled in a little ball.

6. The phone did not ring once while I was asleep (usually always rings at the wrong time). I did get two calls a few minutes after waking up.

7. Nobody cried or fussed while I slept.

8. I feel so much better now.

9. I am going to top it off with a cup of tea made with HOMEMADE tea bags from rhythmsmama. Homemade! Tea bags! She rocks.

10. Being able to write an entire grat list about naps. Hope you get one today if you need one!!

I got me a long ass nap! In fact I got me 2!~ One this morning after baby K woke me up at 6! (eep!) and another this afternoon for like 2 HOURS!.

So why do I still feel tired? (I also passed out at 8pm last night!)

I DID get an extra special bonus nap today. I had a late band gig last night, dh worked all night at his night shift job. I got home and went to sleep at 2:30, baby started waking around 6:30. When dh got home from work at 7 he said I could sleep for an extra hour til 8. Well this angel of a dh stayed up til 8:45 and even fed breakfast to both kids, including mixing some breastmilk with baby oatmeal for R.
Super sweet amazing nap day!!!!

I got some of those homemade teabags from R too! They are soo yummy. I made some herbal iced tea with honey with one of them yesterday, it was delish!
I have never been able to nap except when I am ill, wish I could, but I have trouble quieting my brain during the day.
Its so great that you can get the boys to coordinate naps, it must be wonderful downtime for you mama.
