Naptime

Naptime at our house has definitely become a family event. Initially, I'm in my bed, Charlotte is in her bed, and the cats are camped out in a sunny window sill. By the time I get up, Charlotte is sleeping on my shoulder, one cat is sleeping on my stomach, and the other is on my feet. (Resting pregnant women must excert some kind of gravitational pull on everyone else in the house.) Unfortunately, naptime with mommy has led Charlotte to want bedtime in mommy and daddy's bed as well. Over the last week, we've had the following schedule.

9:00 PM- Charlotte goes to sleep in her nice toddler bed.

2:30 AM- Charlotte wakes up, asks for juice, and wants to sleep in our bed.

She starts out little and not taking up much room, but by the time we get up, she's sprawled across the bed, with her feet digging in someone's back.

We are working on keeping her in her bed all night; it's just a slow process.

Don't forget to set your VCRs tomorrow. Chris and Caryn (of Knit Happens fame) will be on TLC's Perfect Proposal. The show airs at 1 PM.
