Naps are MANDATORY!

My children are blessings and are truly wonderful. They make me smile.
But last night Anna was not my child. I will not claim her as from me. I'm only kidding I love her despite her daddy's traits. I'm kidding again.

My girls take a nap around lunchtime each day and almost always take a nap later in the afternoon. NAPS ARE MANDATORY!

Anna missed nap #2 yesterday. The list below are results of "No Nap Anna".

  • Anna and Ansley had disappeared from my sight for longer than is ever good. I happened upon them in the kitchen floor where Anna had found a jar of bananas that Ansley HAD to finish eating. Yes, thats right Anna felt Ansley was malnurished and fed her and a large part of the kitchen floor Gerber's finest bananas.
  • Following the banana fiasco came bathtime. Bathtime is always the same.
    • Both go in the water.
    • They play.
    • I bathe Ansley.
    • I dry Ansley off.
    • I dress Ansley.
    • I bathe Anna.
    • I dry Anna off.
    • I dress Anna.
          Anna usually just plays with her bath toys and babydoll while Ansley is putting on her "jamas".
          However "No Nap Anna" takes the cup I use to rinse her hair and flooded the entire bathroom.
          Four towels later I was able to wade in to finish batheing Anna.
  • Both girls were clean and bedtime was getting closer. Both girls disappeared once more. Again I found the two of them in the kitchen floor this time with a bowl of butter and a spoon. No need to expound on that one. =/
  • Bed time had come and gone and to Anna our furniture had suddenly become a playground.The running and jumping and jumping and running.
There must be a limit to how many timeouts one child can have a day. =)

Today is a new day and fingers are crossed for BOTH naps.
I love my girls.
The terrible 2's are about half way over. The 3's aren't so bad.....right?
