Napping with Miriam

 I still require Luke to lay down for a nap every day even though he is 5 years old. 

Many days he cannot fall asleep, but he has to always lay down- for one because it helps Andrew to take a nap if he knows Luke is laying down too, but also because I need the down time and a chance to get some things done in peace and quiet.

Sometimes, however I secretly tell him he can get up after Andrew falls asleep and then we do something special like hooked on phonics or piano. 

Lately though, Luke always wants to nap with Miriam, so I have on occasion allowed him to.  The funny thing is that when he lays down with her, he falls asleep within a few minutes!  Amazing!

 It seems as though Miriam helps everyone to fall asleep with that cute little snuggly body of hers!

I should let him nap with her all the time!
