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.
