To Mourn the Passing of Naptime...

Jonah came down from quiet time, without sleeping, before I told him he could get up, yet again.

"See, Mommy! I have these for you!" handing me some pieces of paper.

"Jonah... you have been in your bed for 38 minutes. Quiet time is not over yet. You need to go back to your bed..."

"Um, thank you!"

"Excuse me?"

"Thaaaank you, Mommmyyy..."

"For what?"

"Thank you ah quiet time... I so gwaaaad..." His long eyelashes bat a few times...

"You're glad?"

"Yeah! I gwad ah quiet time!"

"Are you trying to get out of going back to bed?"

Leaning his head on me sweetly, "I ah gwad. Thank you. I go play."

Sigh.
