A Day in the Life

I have been complaining for a while now (sorry Zac) about Adelyn’s napping. She evidently only needs one hour of sleep during the day now. I have done a terrible job of switching her from 2 naps down to 1, and instead of getting around 3 hours of sleep per day, she now takes one, 1 hour nap. I have tried going back to 2 naps, which she will do once in a blue moon, but it still involves lots of coaxing and sometimes crying, and so much frustration on my part. So I’ve decided that what I need to do is just get over it. If she only wants one little catnap per day, I’m just gonna have to adjust. I’ve just got to make good use of that time.

I know there are lots of you out there who have napping issues, probably worse than mine, so I’ll just stop the pity party and deal with it. She is still a good sleeper at night, so I really shouldn’t be whining about this, should I?

On another note, Zac said to me today, “I think we’ve found the solution to keeping Addie quiet while we are at restaurants.”

“What’s that?” I asked, and turned around to look at her. She HAD been playing rather quietly all by herself, and this is what I saw:

How to keep her quiet

She had covered her mouth with a sticker! I thought it was so funny! But I don’t think that it would look so good in public if we were taping our kid’s mouth shut….

I really do love this girl. And all the frustrating things are totally outweighed by the funny, cute, and loving things she does.
