project 52:21 - naptimes

Naptimes are such a part of motherhood & a big topic of conversation.  When the babies are little it's "how long is she sleeping?"  When they are older it's "Should he drop the morning nap?" or "Oh, my goodness I think she's already outgrowing her nap!"  Then, when they are big kids you wish for that nap that no longer is...just a little peace & quiet or you sometimes find yourself saying "YOU need a nap!"


No matter the age of our kids, we have maintained a quiet time in each day-naps for the little ones, alone time for the biggers.  We have to find some peace, some quiet in the day.  It seems to reset everyone, improves moods, makes the afternoon a better place.  I like this time to recharge, or do things for myself, or get some of the chores done without interruption...but sometimes I also take a little nap!  So nice!
