i think that we should have a mandatory naptime each day--babies, toddlers, kids, students, adults... think about the profound impact that would have on the world: people would be less crazy, cranky, maxed out... other cultures have this practice--why can't we learn from them?
my two year old missed his nap today. the world is not the same when he misses his nap. let me clarify, MY world is not the same when he misses his nap. short fuse, tears that come quickly, a tantrum here and there, things that he normally enjoys or finds funny put him over the top (with me coming quickly after).
thank goodness--he is now peacefully asleep in his little bed with his blanket, five or six hot wheels cars, a stuffed snoopy and a story book--all the essentials to go to bed--and i can retreat to a little place of quiet.
naptime is mandatory tomorrow.
