I took this photo a couple of days ago when Em randomly fell asleep in the rocking chair all on her own. She had apparently been helping Daddy & B put up the Christmas lights outside...she disappeared for a while and this is how we found her. Good for her! :) Both my girls gave up their naps REALLY early. We haven't had a 'nap time' at our house in at least 18 months. Which is a very sad thing. But every now and again --- the little one still falls asleep for a snooze. She is always in a better mood come bedtime if she's had a solid rest in the afternoon.
One of the greatest blessings of the Thanksgiving celebration is always the annual naptime. Everyone crashes - the whole house is basically a big crash-zone. This year, I wanted my little one to take a real nap (which she doesn't normally do anymore) so I took her upstairs and laid down with her and we had the NICEST snuggle and nap. There is nothing quite like falling asleep with a little person breathing on your cheek. I started feeling guilty about missing out on kitchen clean-up or whatever so I went downstairs to find out that everyone was crashed in varying states of playing quietly, watching football...so I lay down on the floor by my Dad and we were both snoring in no time. It was blissful!
