The Pleasure and Enjoyment of Napping

May 17, 2013 By

When I was 4 1/2 and heading to my first day at Kindergarten, I announced to my mom that I was now a big girl and didn’t have to nap any longer. It didn’t matter that we had rest time in school on our little mats, it was no real naps for me. Recently, this […]

Remember when we made two long lists of things to do daily?  We ran around until we were exhausted getting everything on the list finished.  We hardly carried anything over to a new list.
