Quiet Time

Every day the kids either nap or have quiet time. Most of the time, they nap, usually 2.5-3 hours. Otherwise they go to their rooms and play. I think that quiet time is wonderful for them....they usually play their toys and make up stories. Sometimes they'll look through books and talk through the story. They usually mess up their rooms terribly, so lately, when it's time to get up, I pick out one thing that they can pick up (like all the blocks) in an effort to keep their rooms a little more tidy. Nathan's room right now is a disaster wreck, but I cleaned Becca's room over the weekend, so her's is perfectly clean. Today she's having quiet time, and she's upset because I won't let her out yet, and her room's clean. I think that she thought that if she kept it clean, she wouldn't have to have quiet time!!

I gotta go pick something Nathan can clean up so that he can get out!
