Vacation Napping

Abigail hasn’t been napping very well on vacation. She’s having too much fun with Momma & Dadda 24/7.

Couple that with 5am wake-ups and we’re totally hosed.

It’s not that she’s not napping. She just not napping conveniently for the rest of us. Sure she’ll doze driving to Freeport and back or in the kayak, but not when the rest of us can doze and catch up.

Until today.

She went down about 11am, so did Jen.

Around 12:30 Abigail woke. When I went to get her she was her semi-normal after nap cranky-pants, so I picked her up and came down stairs.

Downstairs she kept nuzzling into my shoulder, so I stood a minute and rocked her. It didn’t take long and she was dozing off. I sat down in a rocking chair to keep her relaxed (never thought of taking her back upstairs – dumbass), then I started to doze. Unfortunately the chair wasn’t tall enough for me to comfortably sleep.

Over to the couch and we were both out cold in a matter of minutes.

An hour later I woke up with my feet completely numb (the couch is short; therefor, my feet were hanging over the end and suspended) and my bladder squished by a little kid who was also waking up and squirming.

In total Jen got over 2 hours of napping. Abigail got close and I got an hour. Not bad. Too bad we couldn’t do that everyday.
