The Epic Nap

We are not nappers in this house. We are sleepers, oh yes, we love to sleep in, but naps? At this point, they usually consist of Ben sleeping in the car for 20 minutes. Then we have to rouse him because any longer and he wakes up swinging. Full on nap hangovers can last up to an hour. No fun.

Lily had her first sleepover at Emma's house last week. We were wondering if we'd get a phone call in the middle of the night, but not with Lil. She was so excited! When Lisa came to pick her up, Lily told me, "Pick me up tomorrow," then RAN out of the house. It was really odd not having her here and having just Ben. He's never been alone without her overnight! At bedtime, he asked, "Lily sleeping?" In the morning, he said, "Lily come home now."

So we had Emma over for a sleepover and it was really fun. Nail polish, hair braiding and plenty of giggling. The kids were up late and up early the next day. Thus, the epic nap. Lily & Ben both fell asleep in the car. When I moved them inside, they both fell back asleep and then would not wake up! Even when Matt picked Ben up, no dice.

He just laid down on the floor and went back to sleep....in the sun.

And, he's back.
