I'm not sure if it's that we are still recouperating from the change from Daylight savings;
or a family-wide growth spurt;
or if our lives are so exciting that both girls fall asleep whenever they slow down;
but lately we've had a lot of snoozing going on - and not necessarily in beds.
Last week, after dinner Beemer was playing blocks, and so was Audi, or so we thought. Ahenobarbus and I were deep in conversation at the table and turned around to find this:
Then a few nights later, Beemer asked to watch a movie. So, I set one up for her and sat Audi down with some toys. My phone rang, so I walked into the other room to talk so Beemer could hear her movie. When I got back I found this:
Then, last night, Beemer announced that she wanted to "rest" and went to get in bed. I didn't think much of it, she pretends to sleep once in awhile. But when she asked to lie in bed and watch a movie, I knew what was coming. So, I set her up with our portable DVD player, and when I checked on her 20 minutes later, she was sleeping peacefully. Audi followed soon after. Both girls were in bed and asleep by 7:30 (their bedtime is usually around 8 or 8:30). I got to relax and watch TV until Ahenobarbus got home. Don't get me wrong, it was awesome, but it also makes me laugh!

I love it! Growing is such tiresome work, naps are the best.
That is every parent's dream! (and some cute pics, too!)
That is such a cute post Jan! How funny! And I love how Audi is a little thumb sucker. She would fit in well around here. :)
The first picture cracks me up! She definitely takes after her Aunt Jodie in that one!
Don't you love that feeling when everyone's asleep early? It reminds me of when I was a kid and we would have a snow day. The relief! The joy! The fun! If it ever happens here, I refuse to clean, do dishes, or laundry, and I just do something sinful like watch tv or read a book. LOVE IT!
