Joy of Love: Day 10 "Where They Are Comfortable"

It was a matter of seconds that my head was turned. During which time Cailynne managed to dump out the dog's water, empty every pot out of the cupboard, and fill them with dog food. "Cailynne! That is a no no!" Laughing maniacally, she runs out of the kitchen and straight to the toilet, at which time I notice she is carrying my cell phone. Tripping over 2 baby dolls and a potty chair in a desperate attempt to save the phone from the drowning it was about to receive, I seriously considered introducing my daughter to the swirly!
I truely believe naptime is more for the mother than the child. Sure, we want to make sure our kids are getting their much needed rest. But our sanity needs the rest as well! I love little Cailynne's sense of adventure. More often than not she has me rolling with laughter at her daily shenanigans and stubborn attitudes. But I cannot hide the smile on my face when naptime comes around either.
For one thing, Cailynne is so excited to get in her crib. She loves it! She has all of her loveys to snuggle with and her favorite blanket. She smiles, kisses everybody goodnight, and waves goodbye as I lay her on her pillow. I don't really even know how this happened. I always say she must be a long sleeper like her Grammy.
The other reason I love naptime so much is that I know when she wakes up, I'm going to get a guaranteed 15 minutes of snuggle time in the rocking chair. I treasure each and every one of those 15 minutes. She kisses me a million times and hugs me with her whole body. It's heaven! And just when God has reminded me how very precious being a mother can be, we hit 16 minutes. And then we're off...right back where we left off....the toilet.

I had super crappy lighting to work with so I had to use my flash.
