Naptime...



Here at the Dennis household, we love naptime. Clear, complete silence! I love it! Porter (2 1/2 yrs. old) and Peyton (5 yrs. old) still take naps. I'm not a mean mom...they sleep and are way less grumpy this way, so why not?! Kylie (6 1/2 yrs. old) even goes to her room for quiet time, which usually ends up with a 30 or so minute nap in there, too. Which means, that THIS Mom lays down 95% of the time and takes a nap, too. You betcha! Other moms may think this is their time to get stuff done...not me! This is my time to rest!


It is so quiet here I love it! I turn down my cell, don't like if the garbage or UPS guy come around during 1 to 3ish, and especially don't like dumb survey calls that wake me up just to hear a quick click in my reponse.


Anyways, just wanted to let you know how blessed we are at naptime. Here's hoping this continues...


Pictures may not necessarily be taken at naptime...they would definitely wake up not being in their deep sleep! But the 1st picture is Porter in his new "big boy bed" taken a couple months back. He was climbing out of his crib all the time anyways, so we just converted his crib to a toddler bed and he loves it! The 2nd picture is what happens when you spend all day at the beach! Within seconds, complete silence! Actually, this is what happened...


Peyton and Kylie instantly fall asleep. Porter (who we thought would be the 1st to sleep) is singing Happy Birthday. Goes through the song about 2 times. Then Happy Birthday dear.....zonks out! So cute!


Hope you all are jealous now of our wonderful, silent naptime! :)

I'm with you @ naptime... I will sleep when my kids do, no housework for me. ;) So glad our Kindergartners will get to take a nap still after school!!

How sweet are these little angels. I think by law everyone no matter what age should be forced to take one nap a day :)
