Nap Time

Well, the day has finally come! Our girls are no longer able to take their nap together. I guess I should be thankful that they get along so well and enjoy playing together, right? This has actually worked out well for us, because Caleb no longer naps on my bed. Now Gracie can take her nap in my room, and Lily can stay in their room.

Phil and I decided just last night that Caleb probably doesn't need his nap anymore. He'll be 4 in a few months, and on top of that, he's been staying up later and later in the evenings. Last night he was up chatting with his stuffed animals way past 10:30. We've graduated him to "Quiet Rest Time" with brother. We'll see how quiet and restful they can be together. So many changes with these little guys. I keep thinking that I need to write a book if I survive the next few years.
We had a good morning together. We went to the library and came home with lots of good books. The video and DVD section was stripped because schools have been out all week. Why did I wait until Friday to go? Jared was disappointed that Spot the Dog was checked out. It was good to get out of the house anyway, even if the video selection was a little sparse. Is it bad that 2 of my 4 children head straight for the videos as we enter the library?!

In a way you have started a book by blogging. You have great material already written down for when you do start your book!! Love you
that's just what i was going to say! print them out jenny and bind them.
Hi Jenny, My little Lilla runs to the dvd section of our library too.
I think letting go of naptime is TOUGH on Mom. I think it's great that you came up with "quiet rest time". I should have tried that about 10 years ago! Although I have to admit that I usually put on a movie for that.
Our little almost 4 year old does not take naps anymore either. We noticed her going to bed late too. Oh if you go on my page and clike on Jenne in the link list, she has some great ideas for what to do with your kids during "quiet time". It was encouraging to me.
Have a great weekend.
