Naps

I have decided that naps are one of the worlds best things for both me and Brighton. I love that Brighton takes two naps a day, and when he wakes up... vwalaaa... no more cranky pants. He sometimes whines or cries a little bit, but that is normally because I have him swaddled so tight that he can't move an inch. He has this thing lately where he won't sleep unless he is wrapped up SUPER tight. Whenever Brighton naps I also have 2 to 3 hours without him. Not that I don't love him, but sometimes it is nice to not have to worry what he is doing, and also get something done... Seriously... have you ever tried to unload a dishwasher with a baby right there.... IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. He hangs off the door, tries to grab things (which is usually a knife, because that is what is closest to him in the rack on the door), and just is a general pain. Also, when Brighton naps... I NAP! I used to do this when he was first born because I was getting up 4 times a night... now I just need the sleep. So during one of Brighton's naps I usually sleep too. Sometimes I just crash on the sofa (if I don't think he will sleep too long), but if I think he is down for a good 2 hours or longer, I jump in my nice new bed. Most of the time I even manage to wake up before him. I hate when he wakes up before me, because you feel like you have to get out of bed right that very instant!! I like to be lazy a take a few minutes to peel myself out from under the covers. :)
