Our Life

Today I will stop pretending that my J will nap during the day.

B still does, but I somehow hold on to the illusion that B and J will nap at the same time and I’ll have several hours to lounge around or clean or shower or just breathe without two little boys running laps around me.

But that doesn’t happen. B naps, and, bless his heart, J tries to. He gives it a good effort most days, but after a half hour, he just can’t sleep. I end up frustrated, as does he, so maybe today I’ll just face reality and acklowledge that he’s not going to nap, and he can just watch Shrek instead.

Maybe then I’ll get my breather and everyone will be happy.
