Nap time

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words and this is one of those times. Nicole really didn't want to take a nap today but I finally just let her cry and things got quiet. I assumed that she just gave up and finally took a nap. I went on with my normal Tuesday afternoon chores and when 3:45 came around, I went to wake up Nicole so that we could go pick up Tyler from pre-school. I opened the door and both beds were empty! She can't open the door by herself, so I was thouroughly confused. I looked behind the door (where she usually sits if she's just waiting for someone to open the door) and she wasn't there. Then I remembered Ben telling me that sometimes at night she likes to harass Tyler and sits in his shoe basket by his bed and hits the wall with her head. I peeked over there and, sure enough, she had fallen asleep in his shoe basket with her care bear. She was totally sound asleep and when I tried to wake her up, she said she wanted to take another nap and just snuggled up with her bear and went back to sleep. There's two perfectly good beds in that room? Why in the world would she sleep in that tiny little corner? What a silly girl.
