Naptime Part Deux!

Posted by Susie Felber

So, when we last saw our young hero, it was naptime but he was more intent on having a party in his crib.  So mommy (c'est moi) beat a hasty retreat out of the room. Spying on him five minutes later he was not asleep.  But fifteen minutes later, this is the scene I came upon.   FYI The noise you hear is the rain on the air conditioner as we had had the most stunning thunderstorm.

Yes, the babe is napping quite soundly. But, will he sleep for the whole two hours so that mommy can surf the Web and snuggle with her ratty-looking pooch? Tune in next time for the next thrilling installment of Naptime!

l8r Internet, BRB!

Luv & xoxo,

Susie

I think I would like a screen saver of my baby sleeping, since that's really the only time I feel relaxed.  Until about 10 minutes before she's probably going to wake up, when I get the same panicky feeling I used to get hearing my mom's car in the driveway after school and my chores weren't done yet.

I wouldn't even CONSIDER going into Coop's room if he asleep. I am not going to risk angering the sleep gods and have him wake up. It is amazing you can go in there and Hugo doesn't wake up. I hope he slept for HOURS!

I'm not sure why I can't see your videos, and even though the huge spaces are annoying, your blog is so funny, I keep coming back. My son is nearly 2, (next month!) and I've been told that at some point in the near future he may not want a nap at all.....? This made my head explode. I need those naps more than he does!

Joanie -- the mom's car thing/final 10 is so funny and so right on the money.  

M -- Yeah, I live on the EDGE!  Je suis EXTREME! :D

Tracey -- That stinks not seeing the vids!  Do you have a recent version of flash installed?  If so, and you want me to help you work it out, lemme know and we'll pow wow over email.  It's not just self-interest.  I like solving tech stuff.  Also, thanks for the kind comments.  Appreciated as I live to be considered hilarious.

Joanie -- Sad but true.  But i don't know when.  (shiver!)
