The importance of naptime.

Naps are important for babies. From what I read (and what I've also found to be true from experience) is that 'sleep begets sleep'. I find that the days when the boys nap more in the day, they sleep better at night. It's a win win b/c not only are naps important for babies they are SO important for us moms.
I usually take nap time to straighten the house. I always PLAN to rest but inevitably I end up starting to clean up from breakfast/lunch etc which turns into emptying the dishwasher which turns into changing over the laundry etc. You get it.
But today - today I'm going to leave the kitchen messy (cringe) and lay in bed. It's a 39 degree rainy day here in Texas and I'm going to cuddle in bed and read. yes, read. which hopefully will turn into naptime for this mom as well. NAP AWAY MOMS - the kitchen can be cleaned later (perhaps by DAD?)
