Guest Napper #184: Nose in a Book
How fondly I remember those long afternoons I spent reading as a kid. Whether it was Nancy Drew or The Chronicles of Narnia or Ballet Shoes, you couldn’t tear me away from my beloved books. Sometimes I would sit and eat a stack of American cheese slices while I read for hours.
Okay, that part might not have been such a good idea. Burp.
Anyway, at least from the reading perspective (regardless of cheese consumption)Â I’m thinking this girl is my kindred spirit.
Don’t you love the smell of a real book? Kindles aren’t the same.
People like those newfangled digital readers now, but I prefer the old fashioned reading experience. I mean, those flat electronic things won’t balance on your face very well and they create static on your facial hairs.
Here’s hoping your kids apply themselves to intellectual pursuits over the weekend. Happy Friday!
Guest Napper #183: The Princess and the ZZZZZ
Apparently, being a princess is pretty exhausting.
Jeannette sent me this picture of her daughter, who collapsed from exhaustion while she was participating in a Mickey’s Halloween Sing-a-long.
All the tutu fluffing just became too much.
Shades of Roman Holiday, perhaps? Uh ohhhhh.
No worries. Apparently, Sleeping Beauty woke up on her own an hour later: no prince required.
Guest Napper #182: Nose to Knees
At Naps Happen, we appreciate flexibility in sleep. Usually I mean that in a figurative sense. In this case, it’s quite literal.
What scented detergent is Mom using on my socks?
I’m wondering if this child’s parents use Poppy-scented detergent on her socks? Either that, or she’s enjoying a very good, long stretch.
As always, Namaste, baby. Namaste.
Guest Napper #181: Riding in Place
On this day when so very, very many Americans are beyond frustrated by the infuriating futility of government activity…well…I give you this:
Riding a bike in a tent.
Ever get the feeling you’re up against a wall?
And that is all. Ahem.
