Today I am thankful for nap time.

With a two and a half-year old and a six-week old baby there is not a lot of time in my day to sit down.  Nap time for my toddler allows me to relax on the couch, sometimes watching the shows I have recorded or sometimes closing my eyes.  Mostly nap time allows me alone time with my infant.  Time when I can relax and hold him without having to feed, change or burp him.

Today my toddler slept for about 2 and a half hours allowing me to watch a couple shows holding my baby.  I didn’t have any responsibility other than holding him, it was wonderful.
