Horray for good naps!

The last time Matt posted a blog, too soon after I posted a really long blog with tons of pictures, sufficiently burying all he had to say on Utah drivers. Well I was chastised appropriately, so I haven't blogged in a couple of days to ensure his most recent blog had adequate visibility and each of our blogging friends had time to be offended by his office video. Well enough is enough, I'm ready to blog again! Today I'd like to express my gratitude for naps. Not only am I grateful when I get to nap (which I'll admit, is probably too often), I'm eternally grateful that Lexi is (generally speaking) a good napper! (knock on wood!) Every day, when her mood has turned a tad bit sour, I ask her, "nap time?" which she immediately responds "NO!" to, but after a little hesitation she'll follow me into her room, and allow me to put her in bed with her blanket. Every now and again she'll ask for a prayer, sometimes she gets confused if it's a nap, or she's going down for the whole night...but for the most part, that's the only question she asks. Granted she does fuss in her bed and roll around for 5-10 mins, but usually sooner then later she is out for 2 1/2 hours. Yes you heard me right, her average napping time is 2 1/2 hours, and it's not unusual for her to go 3. Nap time is the greatest! Usually I'll go down for a nap too, but there is still time to clean, read, or blog...whatever the agenda of the day is! When she gets up, she is usually in a pretty good mood and we can head to the park (weather permitting, which I have to admit it doesn't permit all too often these days) or read books, or head to the mall. Life is pretty good for the stay at home mom!
