Campbell and Bennett both take afternoon naps at the same time every day. Actually, Campbell is starting to transition to no nap but I still offer it to him. Today he fell asleep but all last week he didn't. I don't think he's 100% dropped his nap yet but he's definitely headed in that direction. A lot of seasoned mamas highly encouraged me to continue to offer him "quiet time" and I think that's a great idea so I plan to do that for a while. I think he needs that quiet, alone time and lets face it, so do I!
Scott works from home so occasionally I can pop out of the house to run an errand. It's sooooo nice that I'm able to do that and I know I'm lucky. I always make it a quick errand so Scott's work doesn't get disrupted in case the boys wake up but it's so nice and helpful.
When Campbell was a baby and taking two naps, I almost always crawled back in bed and took a nap during his first morning nap. It was so wonderful and I had zero shame in that. I miss it! Haha!!
So what do you do? Netflix? Clean or cook? Take a nap too? Share in the comments! Maybe you're doing something brilliant that I need to do too!!
With my first I always always napped when he did. I needed it badly and never had shame in it. With my second one it was so much harder. I usually got dinner prepped or played with the older one. I remember mopping floors at 11:00 at night when everyone else was in bed. It was easier then. Now I barely get my house cleaned with working full time or the kids are asked to help clean. Life just gets busier the older they get.
