Napping

(Written Friday, but I was interrupted before posting)

I'm sitting at the table in the new house, reading, writing, knitting, filling time till e awakes.  Yes, today she is napping.  We used to be able to count on her sleeping after lunch, often for 2 1/2 hours, but that is changing.  Anyway, when I put her in her crib about 1:00 today, she was quite unhappy, crying, asking to get out of bed, standing up.  But I said, "Sleep tight," and left the room.  Soon I heard her call, "Poopy diaper!"  But I ignored her because she is clever enough, I think, to know that complaint usually brings someone to get her up.  Granted, a clean diaper just before being put in bed is no guarantee that 15 minutes later it is still clean, but I took a chance.  She fell asleep very soon after and is still sleeping now at 3:10.

We played in the back yard this morning, kicking the soccer ball back and forth.  I hadn't tried that before with her because the space is part gravel, part concrete, and two different levels.  But e had fun chasing the ball and stepped up and down confidently.

This week e came to our house Monday and Thursday, which may become the norm.
