Down Time

Awww, the girls just went down for their naps, I've just kicked my feet up and start leisurely playing with my phone. The next thing I know, I can hear balls being pushed into the air by this machine playing loud music. Ah yes, Amelie has decided to play with loud toys instead of taking a nap. The funny thing is, is that she probably thinks noone can hear her.

So, I walk in to tell her to go back to bed and if you have been reading my blog you could probably guess that she is once again naked. I've given up on diapers and clothes. She loves to be free and I can't blame her.

A few weeks ago I decided to surrender to the fact that I just don't get down time during the day. This has actually made me happier and more content when they wake up. I'm not bothered by them waking up anymore. I'm just embracing their presence and enjoying it. But, it took me a while to surrender to this and I'm happy to say I feel more peaceful during the day with lower expectations.

The moral of this story...Don't leave loud toys in a toddlers bedroom. ha ha ha
