No More Nappy

Today was my last day of nap time. My time of peace and quiet in the middle of the day will come to an end.  Marley rarely naps anymore, but in an effort to retain my sanity and boost his self-control he would still have “rest” time. He gets toys and books and would play quietly in our guest room. I had started letting him come down earlier so we could read together, but it would always turn into him waking up one of the other boys. Now we have hit the end of the road.

His first day of speech therapy was today. Again, another amazing day. This first child of mine never ceases to amaze me. He is now able to say a “k” sound. Last time he could say it at the end of words. Now he is saying it at the beginning. Missy was letting him have m&ms as a reward, but all he wanted was to hug me. It really almost brought tears to my eyes every time he turned to get that big hug from me.

So, I am putting nap times to rest. It will our time to work together on his speech. He is so excited to “graduate” from rest and get an hour of Marley and Mama time. While I am sad that my reprieve during the day will be gone, I am happy to have this time with Marley. It will definitely be something special for both of us.
