The past few months have been nap-less.  The grumpies have also been growing in the 3-year old department.  So, yesterday it was back to bed we went.  It took about as much time to reinforce the rule of staying in bed as the actual staying in bed time lasted… but it was worth it.  I only had my cellphone camera to take this precious shot just now.  Elsie fell asleep with me playing with her hair and holding her bunny’s pink bow.  I treasure the quiet and I treasure my little girl… even a bit more when she visits sleepy-land for a couple hours!
