It's The Little Things...
that make me happy. Things like Abbie's dancing and Carter's smile and the miracle that occurred today. I put Carter down for a nap in his crib at 1:00 this afternoon. I figured he would sleep about an hour (that seems to be his max), right about the time I would be putting Abbie down for her 2:00 nap. I put Abbie down at 2:00 and Carter was still asleep. I was so happy thinking I would have a few minutes to get things done. I raced around and did all that I wanted to in about 15 minutes thinking Carter would surely wake up any minute. Well he kept sleeping, and sleeping, and sleeping. He slept for 2 and a half hours in his crib! Yes that's right, in his crib. Not on me, not in the swing, not in his carseat, but in his crib! That was a miracle in itself! But that also meant that I had one and a half glorious hours to my self. I honestly didn't know what to do with myself! I kept thinking at any minute my miracle would end. Even Abbie slept for over an hour and a half which is very good for her. My two nap-hating children showed my that miracles do exist and dreams do come true today! Thank you my little sleeping angels! (I am sure the halos will be off tomorrow!)

Lucky you! I hate that too when it's not expected and you keep thinking it's going to be over in a minute and you get NOTHING done!
what a great afternoon for you! let's hope they keep this up!! :)
It's so awesome (and rare!) when naps coincide, isn't it? I'm happy you got some "Mommy" time today!!
