Naps are becoming somewhat of a relic around these parts. We do quiet time when we can, and for now, I'm just happy when she stays in her room and self-entertains for an hour. On the rarest of occasions, she somehow manages to put her self to sleep.
It's hard to find the perfect amount of sleep for this kid. She's a night owl, and if she biorhythm could trump over the schedule demanded by a preschooler's life, she'd be up until 10pm every night and still be cozy in her bed until 9 or 10 am. Her body seems to strive for the most basic 10-11 hours sleep at night.
No matter what we do with a nap, push it earlier or later, make it shorter or longer, we haven't found the perfect schedule yet. I'd give anything to have her in bed by 8 or 9pm each night, without having an hour long go-to-sleep routine that involves our active presence for the entire time. I think bedtime should start to be, relatively speaking, a mostly DIY endeavor.
The thing is, when she's not asleep by 9-ish, we know the morning is going to be quite tricky. When sleep doesn't come until 10pm or later, we're guaranteed to have a more difficult time waking up the preschooler than the two teenagers. And she's a total bear at that.
Actually, what's really the problem is the schedule and the fact that we can't let her body's wishes dominate.
On the days that she skips her nap, sometimes she is a tired mess by diner time. What this looks like is melodrama of tween proportions. Tears. Tantrums. And hitting people. When this happened on Friday, no nap and melodrama, she fell asleep in my lap at 7pm. While that was lovely, we know it's dangerous, but she wakes up and has a party from 3-5am.
It's her brain. It's go go go. She can't get it to be calm and quiet. She struggles to slow down and fall asleep, even when her body wants it, she revs it up into the most dangerously wild second wind. She's like a little tornado whipping through the house.
The Doodle want to live. Sleep is for chumps.
We try to balance teaching her to be self-sufficient in this area, and giving her a little extra help when need be.
After 1.5 hours of quiet time and no nap, we opted to help her along. We knew it would cost us on bedtime and the next morning, but having a pleasant Sunday afternoon seemed more important at that exact moment in time.
Thankfully it was one of those warm-ish winter days,and no amount of bumpity-bump and snow slush crushing, could keep her awake. She basked in the most simple of late afternoon winter stroller naps.
Built by Wendy top sewn using quilting fabric from Spotlight. It looks sooo much better when worn in person.
Simplicity. San Jose, California. December 28, 2011. © Copyright 2011 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A small appliance store front window with many colorful signs, San Jose, California.
This is another in the "walked out my front door and made photographs" series, being a store front that is within a half mile or so of my home. I'm a bit of a fan of photographing the fronts of these small businesses that appear to be anything but chain operations. Each one is its own unique universe and, I assume, reflects the owner's personality in many ways including the cumulative effect of focusing on one small area of the world for many decades. I often wonder what it must be like to live in a world of vacuum cleaners for more than five decades - and I don't mean to imply anything by that question beyond a serious interest in how our primary interests end up influencing how we experience and see the world.
The visual quality of these places also interests me. I can initially simply be overwhelmed by the details that must have accumulated over time - the many brightly colored signs, a few things hung on walls, displays of specialized equipment and materials with brand names I barely recognize. Yet there is a very carefully created order in all of this. It is fun - for me at least! - to spend some time looking at these scenes and starting to pick out the small details that I might not initially notice. (Of course, that is easier with a big print than it is with this little jpg!)

In a world that uses technology in many aspects of life, including entertainment, it makes me smile when my children want to go outside to blow bubbles. The simple act of blowing bubbles provides as much entertainment for my boys (and me as I watch them) as any form of technology :)

I don't sew garment, but it is fun to read!! Maybe one day, I am confident enough, I'll give it a try.
Pain throws you heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way, it should
But I know the heart of life is good.
John Mayer - The Heart of Life
I don’t drink coffee but I like sitting in every now and then to enjoy the simplicity atmosphere with a cup of drink, with a book, with my laptop and music on even though I was alone sometimes.
I wish it could stay that way forever.
