<\/p>\nTirzah Mae is no longer napping, but in the new year, I’ve decided that my sanity requires mid-day time without kids. So she gets “rest-time”.<\/p>\n
I put the younger two down for their naps at 1:30 and Tirzah Mae stays up for the next hour working with me on household chores.<\/p>\n
Today, we raced to see whether Tirzah Mae could put away the play dishes before I could put away the play food. (She won, thanks to a tomato that was hiding inside a jacket draped across the little table!)<\/p>\n
Then we put laundry in the washer (Tirzah Mae pulled the knob to turn the water on), Tirzah Mae sorted yesterday’s (clean) diaper load, and we had a diaper folding competition. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I won, narrowly, having given myself a handicap of snapping and folding all the diaper covers.<\/p>\n
And then she went to bed with some books, to stay in bed for an hour until the pink noise (we use this app<\/a> on one of my old smart phones) turns off.<\/p>\n And while she’s in bed, I blog or do my physical therapy stretches or read a book or eat a piece of chocolate (no sharing!) or knock out a few seams on my next sewing project – or just do whatever. It’s lovely. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tirzah Mae is no longer napping, but in the new year, I’ve decided that my sanity requires mid-day time without kids.
