No morning nap please = 110 wet wipes

One hundred and ten pieces of wet wipes strewn all over her cot. That' how Apple communicated to me that she doesn't want her morning nap anymore.

It's a Saturday morning. The ritual is that Apple will take a morning nap, while Orange & I will spend some time together doing art or craft. But this morning, she protested: yelled and screamed. She does that some times so I left her alone. A few minutes later she stopped. I thought: Yes! It worked. Sometimes, toddlers need to release some energy before they sleep.

Not too long later, more shouting and screaming. This time, I decided to investigate. That's when I discovered her message. One hundred and ten pieces of the new box of wet wipes I placed on top of the chest of drawers next to her cot.

Yes, darling Apple. I got your message... No more morning naps for you.

Great post! I'm smiling just thinking of you sitting there counting out 110 wet wipes :-) Thanks for the link by the way!

Well, I didn't quite count. It was a new 120-pc pack of wet wipes. But I did put them ALL back into the two different containers. Still can be re-used. Not wasted. ;)

Thanks for popping by my blog. How did you know I added a link?
