Sleeping is for Sissies.....

We're surrounded by mountains of tissues and swimming in rivers of mucus around here this week. Everyone has an icky, coughy, sniffly, whiny cold.* Ugh.

And Little Miss Emma has now decided that a Big Toddler Girl doesn't need to take a nap.

Naps are for sissies.

Naps must be prevented at all costs.

You-can't-make-me-take-a-nap, don't-even-try-or-I-will-fall-down-in-a-heap-of-rigid-righteous-toddler-temper-tantrum!


Emma has resisted all naps for the past two days.

And so, by about 4:00 p.m., Emma looks like this:




Mommy is sporting a similar look. Not my best.

* The only positive news is that despite the deluge of mucus raining out of her nose, Emma's lungs remain clear. Yay!

Sorry to hear about the river of mucus - Sammy has the same. Hope they both dry up soon (and the rest of you). And may your big toddler girl cave to naps again soon (confession - I've resorted to going for a drive when desperate - he can't resist it).
