My children do not take naps.  It started with Porgie, which I expected, but now Izzy won't nap either.  It isn't a huge deal, but I am a firm believer in well-rested children (or maybe I am just a firm believer in mommy having free time?).  I am highly distraught about this new development.  Admittedly, I do like having a little free time during the day, but that is not my only problem.  Izzy is my baby, and babies need to nap gosh darn it!
Okay, I guess Izzy isn't a tiny baby anymore.  My little man is going to be 3 years old in November.  THREE YEARS OLD.  That just sounds so old.  Where did my baby boy go.  He is suddenly so tall, and he has so much hair!  I am happy that Izzy is becoming an independent little boy, but I am sad that the baby phase is gone.  It went by too fast.  I blinked my eyes, and he grew a foot.
Izzy very well might be my last baby.  And this phase of his life is already gone.  It makes me sad.  Makes me wish I had rocked him to sleep even more.  Nursed him longer.  Carried him on my hip more often.
This parenting thing sure is hard.

I love naps. However, I am realizing just how quickly time is flying. She is turning into a little girl!
