I'm flattered that you think mama is so cool that you want to spend ALL day with me, but here's the thing...you need to nap. I know I tell you all the time that you are a big girl, however, you are technically still a baby, and babies nap. I know, I know. You've got a long to-do list that involves throwing food at the dogs, smearing snot on the windows and pulling books off the shelves, but I assure you there are still plenty enough hours in the day to terrorize the house.
When you don't nap you turn into a bit of a crank-a-saurus. I try to kiss and cuddle the crankies out, but you, sassy-pants, have other plans. See those horns?
And instead of being your usually happy, smiley, hyper-waving self at the grocery store, you mean-mug everybody...
And mama? Yeah, I go a little crazy, to put things mildly.
Take it from someone older and (presumably) wiser....naps are heaven on earth. Snuggling up in the middle of the day with a soft blankey and stuffed animal? Come on. That's the life.
Give me an hour and I will pay you in crackers. I find no shame in bribery.
So please, please, please for the love of you mother's sanity, rest those beautiful baby blues.
Love you always (even when you're a whine-o-ceros),
Mom
