Long naps

I remember when I was a kid, I hated naps. I fought them, and remember telling my mom on more than one occasion, "I'm NOT tired!"...only to wake up after a sweet two hour nap. Now, as an adult, I long for naps and average one a month (if I'm lucky).

What I really crave these days is a long naptime for Zachary. I had no idea that a two year old could have so much energy! It takes everything in me to wear him out in the morning enough to get a peaceful two hours to myself in the afternoon. No, I'm not complaining, because I know many moms would give their right eye and left arm for two hours of peace and quiet. I'm just coming to the realization that I didn't know how great it was before it was less and less available. Kind of like the water situation in my last post, but...okay, maybe not.

So, Zachary is taking a longer than normal naptime right now, and I'm reveling in thankfulness. Soon he'll be up asking for "lemonane" and cookies, and our world be be "right-size-up" again. Amazing what a little rest can do.
