Naptime With Daniel

Written by Gerard on Wednesday 26 March 2008

Our attic room is temporarily a 'play room'. Which means it's a place for the kids to throw their toys around without us having to look at the resulting mess.

Every now and again, I take Daniel up to the attic and we watch a DVD together. We throw ourselves down on the beanbags and, if the conditions are right we'll both fall asleep. We did this yesterday afternoon - I stuck on the Shrek The Third DVD and we both settled down for the movie.

I love afternoon naps. That feeling of sinking into a deep, warm sleep, cushioned in a big comfy beanbag. I must've fallen asleep first because I don't remember much beyond Charming's rousing speech in the fairytale tavern. My eyes flicked open at one point and Dan had rolled off his beanbag and was curled up on the floor beside the cupboard.

There was another brief interruption when Jake tracked us down and looked like he was about to start making noise with the toys. I remember gruffly dispatching him and feeling slightly guilty before the sleep overtook me again. I enjoy these little naps, they're very refreshing and there's something nice about having a little sleep with Dan side by side in the beanbags.

Must find a way to make this a regular thing...
