Why do they fight it? I would give anything for someone to tell me "Miss Poppins, please take 2 1/2 or 3 hours to yourself. Just go lay down in bed, relax and take a long nap." I do believe I would jump for joy before running to my room and slamming the door shut. I might even put up a "do not disturb" sign. But no, kids, they hate it. I see all the signs. They're a tad grumpy. They rub their eyes. Their movement becomes sluggish. And you watch as those little eye lids begin to fall closed and at the last second they yank back up! Gracious. I bet it's just tiring fighting it! Here are my favorite excuses (I did put them in order of most annoying to cutest. It just makes sense to me).
5. "YOU DON'T READ MY BOOK THE WAY MOMMY DOES. OLIVIA'S VOICE SOUNDS LIKE THIS...." When I met Olivia she sounded more like a talking pig than a monster. Just my opinion.
4. "BUT I'M STILL HUNGRY!" Seriously!?!? Wasn't it about 15 minutes ago that I made you take 3 more bites of mac n cheese cause your belly was "oh so full"????
3. "ACTUALLY, I DON'T NEED TO NAP. I NEED TO RIDE MY BIKE." Is this a good time to teach the difference between a need and a want?
2. "BUT THE SUN IS STILL AWAKE." I love this one. He has a great point. But maybe it's because the sun is a grown up and doesn't need naps like cute kiddos.
1. "MISS POPPINS, WILL YOU PWEASE WAY DOWN WIS ME?" How can I say no???
