An Afternoon Of Peace

Well, that new toy gave me an afternoon of peace. Cheaper than a babysitter, faster that an afternoon at the pool trying to tire them out in hopes of maybe an hour or two of peace later. Hence, the magical, peaceful moment came from the toy. That new toy, the one they each picked, kept each child entertained for the entire day.

The Nap Time Cycle

Because, the sad day comes when those attempts to put the baby to the down for a nap are in vain. It’s a total waste of time. Because there is no nap. You may be able to hold on to ‘quiet time’ where you give the child an iPad and quickly jump in the shower, but, it is short lived too, just like that shower and the thought of blowdrying your hair.
