Blog post #1
I shamelessly admit to using Ash as a nap decoy.
Technically he could get by with no nap at all. At 4 he is by far my oldest napper.
But I have found if I want Juniper to nap at all, she goes down a lot easier when there's another kid paving the way.
Hence my nap decoy.
P. s. He almost always falls asleep before she does. So I don't feel bad one bit for using him in this terrible way.
P. p. s. I've never started a blog because I'm a perfectionist and could never find the perfect name, the perfect first post, or have enough sleep to put together a coherent thought. (See? Right there? I'm not even sure if "putting a coherent thought together" is grammatically correct. But see? I'm trying not to care anymore)
All asleep at once? In my dreams!
Yay!!!! A blog from Abi! I'm very much looking forward to reading these! Great start. =) Love the blog title too.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your mom employed this tactic. I know Karen did, and I liked it best when she picked me to be the decoy.
ReplyDeleteYou rock. I totally get the perfectionist thing. That's why instead of blogging I will just comment on yours. I'm so glad you started. :) I'm sure you have all kinds of wisdom, experience, and strategies to share in addition to nap decoys.
ReplyDeleteI'm soo glad you are blogging! You and your family will always have this to look back upon, and we have the blessing of reading and enjoying your descriptions and pictures of life in the Acorn household!~ What a joy. I've encouraged Laura to "just do it" for us, too!
ReplyDeleteAnd as far as the perfectionist thing...I've got it too (had you noticed?) ;) I'm greatly restraining myself to correct your apostrophe use! <3 Love you and your wonderful, fabulous family!
