She must have seen I was a bit stressed with much to do during her “nap time.”
At 2:00, she used to nap, but now she pronounces that she will not sleep but will play. Fine, I say, just so you leave me to work in my room, and you can play in your room (for the goal till 4:00). It seems to work most of the time, but usually, she comes to visit me for a moment concerned about my well being.
Today, she brought me a snack, and then asks for the usual ‘last hug and kiss.’
“Mom, you’ll love my shake. You just need to drink it with a straw.” Good thing those legos have delicious flavors.
Kind child. Now, go back to your room, as I say with a smile.
