Naptime…
Adults want them, but can’t because we have to work or life is just too darn busy.
Kids on the other hand get offered naps all the time, but refuse to take them.
For the life of them, do they really think that they’ll be missing out on some amazing event as soon as they close their eyes…. I have yet to understand the complexities of a child’s mind.
As time goes by, realizing how hectic life is, the more we realize children need naps. We’ve learned that our children get grumpy, unreasonable, hard headed and stubborn when they’re sleepy. And that’s not just an excuse!
When they get tired, they need to nap or else they’ll keep having these outbursts… that then leads to tantrums! And we don’t want that!
So I’d rather them fight me to take a nap, but eventually take them rather than them continually breaking down and driving me nuts whole time, right!
Then again, I can always ask for reinforcements (i mean the hubby) to watch the kids while I NAP in the bedroom! Hahah!
Ain’t that the TRUTH. Luckily both of my kids are pretty good nappers. I’ll take any nap when I can!
