But when the youngest child kept getting out of bed at night because she had napped so well in the afternoon, I thought it may be time to do away with naps.
This has taken some adjusting to. Because, despite my best efforts, sometimes this happens:
Winnie napping on the couch while Miriam snuggles/watches TV.
And I have to totally rethink my life. Instead of having to be home by noon so kid(s) can eat and nap, I can spend the afternoons taking kid(s) to the library, shopping or going on walks.
Between this and my downsizing from a diaper bag to a purse, I feel like a new woman.
