Most 2 and 3/4 year olds want to ditch their afternoon naps. Most parents of 2 and 3/4 year olds desperately cling to the notion of napping or at least "quiet time". Well, today Sophie demonstrated her will and her wit.
Despite the heat and her dad reading to her and assuring her that nothing "fun" would happen on the whole planet until quiet time finished, she didn't drop off to sleep. So 90 minutes of vocalization later, she was brought downstairs.
Mum: So did you sleep, Sophie?
Soph: It's not night-time. (Turns to her father) Is it night-time, dad?
Dad: No, Sophie, it's not night-time.
Sophie: shrugs as if pointing out the foolishness of parents who think that sleeping can happen when the sun is up and then tears off in all directions.
On another note, M said that the look of glee on the young Miss' face when she got to squirt the hose at her big bro and the even bigger neighbour was just priceless.
Life is good

Leo has started skipping his afternoon nap too! But thankfully only occasionally. He's still a good sleeper, day & night. He graduated to a 'big-boy bed' recently (he was still in his crib till a month ago), so it's getting harder to enforce quiet time now.
Great photos & updates! It's wonderful to track all the changes.
