Do not be deceived by the sweet sleepy yawns of your tireless little monster. Somehow, no matter how little sleep children seem to get, they are endlessly abundant with energy. With so much excitement in the world, so much to learn about and discover, kids have a hard time befriending nap time, too afraid they might miss something should they succumb to the sweet land of sleep.
I certainly envy their youthful exuberance, and not only am I exhausted from chasing after their non-stop ways, I'm tired just thinking about it.
Oh, I can relate! Sometimes I wish I had just a fraction of my son's energy.
ReplyDeleteI agree, just a small portion of their endless energy would make the day so much easier.
Deleteah yes- parents needing naps far more than their kids! My sympathies- I have been there! Happy week to you!
ReplyDeleteFortunately I've managed to get both my girls to nap at the same time in the afternoon and occasionally steal a nap myself sometimes. :)
DeleteI am so with you!
ReplyDeleteHaven't encountered the situation as of now...but yeas, I might would have done similar things to mom!! :)

I'm sure all kids have exhausted their parents with their non-stop energy at some point. :)
DeleteOh, yes! They'll resist that nap time as much as they can and with such energy, till you are so exhausted you could sleep through till their next nap time, yourself. I remember those days, lol, but have thankfully moved on from them now.
ReplyDeleteThat's the encouraging part I suppose, this phase doesn't last forever. :)
