This Never Happens!



I don't have the kind of kids who can sleep anywhere. They usually have to be in their beds or in their car seats. Earlier this week I fixed Ava her lunch after she woke up from only a 45 minute nap. Usually she takes a 2-3 hour nap. I was busy cleaning and putting things away. I could hear her making noises for awhile, but then it got really quiet. When I came downstairs, I found her head on the table and she was out! Then yesterday we went to Kaelub's cousin's wedding at the Mesa Temple and then to the luncheon afterwards. So both kids missed their naps and by the time we got home I could tell they were tired. Ava went right down, but Eli hadn't eaten much so I fixed him a little dinner. When he finished eating he told me he was tired. Well, it was 5:30, so I didn't know if I should just let him go to bed for a short nap or try to keep him up a little longer. I decided to let him go to sleep and at about 6:30 he came downstairs, got a drink, then curled up in the chair and went back to sleep! We woke him up to go potty, and he said he wanted to go back to bed, so we put him in his bed and he was out until 6:30 this morning. (Just had to add that as I'm typing this he is in his room singing the "Hello, Hello" Primary song.)
