Naptime in the bathroom


My son is an excellent night-time sleeper. He goes down around the same time every night---usually without much of a fuss---and he'll sleep for 8-9 hours, wake up to eat, and then go right back to sleep for another 2-3 hours.

I know. What a good boy.

Naps during the day, though, are another matter entirely. If that man isn't tired he will not sleep. He's good to let me know when he does need the nap, and if he is tired, he'll fall asleep anywhere: the grocery store, the park, a live jazz concert (true story). But sometimes a whole day goes by with only an hour nap here, a 20 minute nap there. He's super happy and interactive these days, which makes it fun to play, but the no-nap / short-nap thing can often interfere with my getting things done. So when he does choose sleep, you bet I try my best to let him stay asleep. Buying what time I can.

The other day Brandon fell asleep in the swing while I showered, so I totally left him in there. I only got an hour out of it, but still. :)
