bribes for naps

In my efforts to get my darlings to nap I have really sunk to a new low today. So far I have promised that they will get their 'big girl beds' with their 'big girl Dora sheets' if they can prove they are big girls by napping. Gorgeous daughter #1 took one look at the Dora sheets and gently put her little hand on mine and said oh so earnestly "put those in the closet mummy" I think we all knew then that a nap just wasn't going to happen.
We talked a lot about what our jobs are this morning. "Daddy goes to work. Mommy cleans the house." Gorgeous daughter #2 just starts in naming all of this work. "Mommy cooks dinner, washes the floor, drives the car, calls grandma, sweeps...um...um...um...and washes stuff" At least she isn't blind to my efforts unlike someone who shall remain nameless (DADDY)

I thought you might want to know that you have a couple fans. A couple of us in the office read you blog daily. She has a four year old boy, and I a two year old girl. It's a great break to read, keep it up.
