deron finally naps!

it has been a tough week in the crumpton household. i know parents out there will agree with me when i say naps are a GOOD thing!! deron has always been such a great sleeper: sleeping through the night a good 7 hours at 9 weeks, then on to 12 hours throughout infancy, and still now sleeps very well. at least 10 hours (if we get to bed on time at night). i value his sleep times. it gives philip and i a chance to be husband and wife instead of mommy and daddy, and during the day, it gives a mom a chance to get a few things done around the house without cleaning up spilled milk, handing out an endless line of crackers, repeating veggie tales, etc, etc.

but this week has been different. not sure if it's been the light coming through his window (since we haven't gotten blinds or curtains up in his room yet), or the 10 minute "napettes" he will get on the way home to get a REAL nap in, or just the change in scenery at the new house or what, but he hasn't gotten a good deep sleep in during the day all week! and it drives me nuts! by the time 5pm rolls around, he is exhausted and cranky and moody and defiant. uggh.

but today, right now even. my little 2-year old sunshine is fast asleep. and i am in heaven.
