Is it unreasonable to hope that Matthew never outgrows lullabies and made-up stories before bed… :-/
The looks and sounds like a magnificent day!
Jealous! My 17 month old will not sleep with me at naptime. I so miss snuggling her to my breast and drifting off to sleep together. Now she will only sleep by herself (maybe I snore to much ;-) ). So enjoy your naptimes together while they last!
Your Sunday sounds (and looks) a whole lot like mine:).
Shannon - For months, Char wouldn’t let me nap with her at all either. Then a few weeks back all of the sudden she changed her mind. Now she’s back to wanting to nap while literally laying on me the entire time, her belly against mine. I didn’t realize how much I’d missed it until I had it back. Now I don’t want to let go!! So there’s hope - maybe your little will change her mind? If she doesn’t, at least you still have those memories, right?
Jeneva and Molly - It’s the very best sort to have, no?
Alicia - NO! I love love LOVE nursery rhymes and stories. Even now, sometimes Donald and I are drifting off to sleep and I have to fight back the urge to ask him for a story lol. For some people, there’s no such thing as outgrowing wondertime before bed. I hope Charlotte’s one of those people too.
I wish she could come over and help me pick up sticks!! I have lost some weight from it, though, so not complaining. :)
Sarah,
Thank you for coming to visit me. I have been following you since before Charlotte was born. I love this blog. These pictures look like something from my childhood. They bring back such pleasant memories. I hope I can pass them on one day. Until then I think I’ll just go play in the garden with the dogs.These photos make me very happy :)
