This is what happens when your 2 year old thinks she doesn't need a nap...


Yes, she is asleep in the middle of dinner...with ketchup smeared all over her face, and there was actually chicken still in her mouth! Bennett has only been napping about every other day lately.  The days she doesn't nap, she still hangs out in her bed for at least 1.5 hours, but then she is so exhausted at night that she's been going to bed at 7:00 or sooner.  Tonight when she fell asleep in her high chair, I just let her sleep for 20 minutes, and then woke her up to take a bath and then finish dinner.  

The funny part about the days she doesn't nap, is that she says the funniest things in her crib! Here's another installment of Bennett's nap time conversations with herself...
1. Lay down and take a good nap.
2. I'm trying to get up now, Mommy!
3. All the kids cheered!
4. chug, chug, chug, choo, choo (many times!)
5. Great Grandma Bea can't sleep, Great Grandma Rull can't sleep, (repeated with Mommy, Daddy, Murph and Nana)
6. Dora the doctor (that was the episode she watched that day).
7. Mommy, I didn't eat.  Mommy, I didn't do errands.  Mommy, I didn't go to Schnucks.  
8. We're going to the pet store tomorrow after we change our diapers. 
9. We are going to find a new playground...a fantastic one!
10. We're going to a new library.
11. Dora, you have to go to the doctor.  Doctors are nice to you.
