A Sleepy Afternoon

Both kids (sadly for me!) started to drop their afternoon naps earlier this fall. Now I try to institute some form of "quiet time" up in their rooms after school. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Thomas spent a bit of time coloring this afternoon, which is loves to do, but got sort of grumpy and whiney. I suggested he lay down on top of his bed and take a rest. This is what I found two hours later ...

Half naked, asleep squished down at the end of his bed.

AWAKE! AWAKE! CONFUSED!

Back to sleep.

Grumpily awake again, resigned to the fact of wakefulness.

Whoops. Back to sleep.

Again. Even grumpier.

And...he's gone.
