But she likes to play on her own now, so in theory I could write while she's playing by herself.<BR/><BR/>Except that Mira is following in her sister's footsteps and thinks naps are for wimps. Three months old and hates to nap. Ugh.

I feel for you, girl. <BR/><BR/>I'm the same way with writing, too...I'm better and sharper first thing in the morning or during the day. The ol' brain cells seem to be harder to rouse after dark. It's hard because Julia doesn't nap anymore, but one of the things I'm looking forward to with her starting school this year is alone time in the afternoons. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the shout-out. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24927410.post-50623735952161894752007-08-28T15:06:00.000-04:002007-08-28T15:06:00.000-04:00I hope the naps come back soon.

We actually gave up napping for awhile, and then it got to the point where even a five-minute car-ride after lunch would have him fast asleep. So then we tried the silence-and-darkness method: tin foil taped over the window so that it was PITCH BLACK in his room at naptime. That worked for almost a year before he gave up napping altogether a few months ago.Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15957626443087438904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24927410.post-21101189237277486872007-08-28T09:44:00.000-04:002007-08-28T09:44:00.000-04:00Why don't you just tell her that her naps are a vi...Why don't you just tell her that her naps are a vital service to her mother, and therefore, she is not allowed to go on strike. <BR/>No?<BR/><BR/>Damn.
