nap time

If you stand about four feet tall or less, you’re doing this right now…

Don’t you just love how comfortable babies look when they sleep? I would give anything to look this comfortable.

I did the one thing every parent knows not to do when their kid is sleeping… I took a peep.

As a parent… its a cardinal rule that once a baby falls asleep… do not, I repeat, do not disturb them.

She looked so dang cute I took it a step further and grabbed my camera.

Her room was as dark as can be… so I took it a step further and turned on the light… yikes…. I really pushed my limits with that one!

I snapped away as she spooned her blankey and snored away….

This got me thinking…

Nap-time should become a law for kids of all ages. I know I could sure use a nap everyday….

What about you? Are you a napper?

  1. I don’t really like to nap because I feel more tired afterwards. I love to nap on the weekends!

  2. I would LOVE to have nap time daily. I think I’d be a lot less grouchy by 4 p.m. That, and I’m pretty sure I’d avoid 90 percent of all the headaches I get.

    Now if I could just get my work on board with that.

  3. So adorable!!! And you’re so brave. I would NOT have turned on that light for the life of me. LOL

  4. Oh, I love naps… but I don’t get to take near enough of them.

  5. I don’t often nap but when I do I absolutely love it. Since I work full-time it’s a real treat to be able to just lay down in the middle of the day :) .

  6. i am 100% a napper…that never get’s to nap!

    I have to admit, lately I’ve been sneaking in a little 20-30 minute nap when Ava is down in the afternoons. I think she is wearing me out more than usual, because I’ve NEVER been a napper.at.all!

    I love naps . . . but almost never take them since I’m in an office 9-5. OK, once I dozed off at my desk, but that’s another story. =) My only problem is that once I start napping I don’t want to get back up! It’s almost as hard for me as getting up in the morning.

  9. I can’t just lay down and nap. I have to be going on no sleep from the night before and even then, I just feel more exhausted. She is so sweet!

  10. a nap always sounds so appealing, but when i actually take one i hate the feeling of being so disoriented after! these pictures are so cute

    So cute!!! I totally vote for adult nap time :)

  12. Nicole, RD says:

    Too cute :) I love naps, but I tend to avoid them…they seem to make me sleepier!

  13. I sneak in a nap maybe once a week…they last all of 15 minutes and seem to make a world of difference. It’s hard to imagine a time when I used to complain about having to take one!

  14. I am not a napper because it always makes me feel a little groggy, but my rare naps always happen during football games :)
