Curse those random naps!

I never would have thought that I would be one to curse a napping child. Jake was always a great napper and I loved every minute that he was asleep. It just meant that he would be happy when he woke up.
Allie was a great napper...for a little while. Then we fought long and hard about napping when she learned how to climb out of her crib and the napping phase was over.
Now, we are in a good routine. The kids don't nap, and although I miss the peace and quiet that came with naps, I am okay with the no nap thing. It means the kids go to sleep earlier without as much of a fuss.
So, you can see why I curse naps now. When Allie naps, she is up until 11 requesting water, a bathroom break, a new toy, a song, a kiss...the list goes on and on.
When Jake naps, things are a little easier but not much.
This week, both kids had random naps in random places and we paid for it at bedtime...

Oh that table just doesn't look very comfy.
Blake is definately going through the unscheduled naps here too.
