Nap Time

I am trying to get myself back into the habit of blogging, even if that means just writing a paragraph about something we do every day ……. NAPS.

I do not nap every day, though for a few months I did. (Newborn-induced sleep deprivation is no joke). River, however, takes mandatory naps two {recently down from three} times a day. Duh. He is a tiny baby. He needs lots of sleep.

I saw a shirt the other day that said “Mom Life is the Best Life”. I agree, but I think if I were to wear a shirt talking about my life as a full-time Mom it would say “Nap Time is the Best Time”. Are you with me?!? I feel like just that little bit of baby-sleeping-I-can-get-dressed-or-eat-or-meal-prep-or-read-or-whatever-I-want is refreshing to the body and the soul. And I am ALL ABOUT things that are refreshing to the body and soul.

I have been using nap time to do a little picking-up around the house, or to make myself breakfast and do a little reading. Today I decided to eat breakfast with River (though I did not have pureed peaches and brown rice cereal like he did…) and use nap time to brush my hair and put on a dress. Oh heeeeeey. Yep, sometimes I wear dresses.

There you have it on this Thursday morning. An ode to naps.

Until next week. When he decides he doesn’t want to nap at all anymore. 🙂

All my love,

Kristin
