Maggie will be two in a few weeks and hasn't napped in the morning for about a year, but every day around 9:00 am she just hits a wall (of course, as I'm scrambling to get us all out of the house). I often resort to 10 minutes of Peppa Pig while I finish getting dressed so she's not just whining at my feet. A habit of scooping her into her crib with some books sounds much better!

A long perspective is needed for me, too. If I'm in this for the long haul of a year, I need to take care of myself for the entire year.

HAHA! You're hilarious! :) Seriously though, I think you really hit the nail on the head there. Everyone, whether it be mom, siblings, or dad, needs some toddler-free time for everyone's health and happiness. I'm not an expert on child psychology by any means, but I can't imagine that stimulating a toddler constantly with attention would be that nice for the toddler; I'm sure many toddlers appreciate some quiet time to do their thing! :) AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3883970092765312318.post-42924307316683033072015-09-30T12:53:19.887-06:002015-09-30T12:53:19.887-06:00Toddler quiet time!
