James hasn't been napping very well lately, if at all. Once in a while he lays in bed quite easily and falls asleep, but most days now, he fights having to nap. It's bittersweet for me... watching my baby grow is wonderful, but I will miss my quiet time and MY naps. :)
Kaitlyn too, has been skipping some naps in the afternoon. It's extremely frustrating to me to think of her growing out of her nap already at the age of 2 and a half. No way. It can't be. I keep praying to God to help this phase stop and for her to keep up with napping. On the other hand, and there usually always IS another side, if she does nap, she takes forever to fall asleep at night. She never wants me to leave after I tuck her into bed (since I'm so awesome and all), and then she sits up there and plays with books in bed or toys on her floor. She's sneaky too... she's very quiet. If she hears me coming to talk to her, she runs back to bed! Stinker.
SO... maybe if the nap goes away it won't be the worst thing in the world, but I still want her to nap! She's just too young!
Kaitlyn has been enjoying school so much, and this morning when I dropped them off, she exclaimed, "I get to go to school toooo!" It is so sweet, and I love thinking about how far she came in just over one month, from crying at drop off to being excited to go see her friends.
When it is time for dismissal at school, my kids go to separate places to be picked up, so I have to go through the car pool line twice in different places. It's kind of a hassle, but no big deal really. I usually go get Kaitlyn first since she's younger and newer at the whole school thing, and James understands he needs to stay put until I drive up.
Kaitlyn makes me giggle when we pull up to get James and he gets in the car. She asks him so nicely, "How are you doing, James?" It's so cute!
She is also very consistent about telling someone when they've done a good job. "Good job singing, Mommy!" or "Good job, James!" It's so sweet, and I can only assume she gets that from her most wonderful role model... me. ;)
