Oh how I miss naps! I'm pretty sure the days of napping have gone bye-bye...we haven't seen a nap in our house in a good three weeks! I try to do quiet time, in their beds with books and some small toys, so I can at least get the kitchen clean, some laundry done or just eat some lunch...but it doesn't last very long. They are either tearing all the covers off their beds to build a "tent", devising some great spider adventure/hunt or seeing how many toys and books they can pull out and pile in the middle of the floor. I won't even go into all the disasters I walk in on...like marker on the walls, window and bed, climbing on the dresser and pulling the clock and picture frames off the wall or Timo sneaking milk into his room, drinking and spitting it across the room at Cameron...it's been a tense few weeks to say the least...

But on one of the more calm days, Cameron came clicking out of their room with her princess shoes on, wanting to know if nap time was over..
I escorted her back to her room with the firm instructions that nap time isn't over until Mommy comes into your room and says it's over. As I walked in their room, I saw Timo on the floor like this...
I asked him what he was doing..."I just getting ready for a party...Mommy, I'm a prince!" At least he knows the difference between a prince and a princess...even if he doesn't know that princes' don't wear the sparkly tiaras!
