Naptime Is the New Happy Hour
Categories: Parenting & Families , Nonfiction
I got a nap yesterday. This might not sound like a big deal to most of you, but for me it was a momentous occasion. I don't get much sleep these days. My three-year-old daughter and six-month-old twin boys don't think it's a good idea, apparently. So when I managed to get all three of them down at the same time I ran to my bedroom and burrowed under the covers.
Of course, I was "rewarded" an hour and a half later when I went to get the boys out of their cribs and discovered that one of them had spit up and, well, let's just say had a "diaper leakage" problem all over his sheets. My daughter came in, took one look at her brother, and pronounced that he smelled disgusting and "needed to start going in the potty" like she does. Yeah, I'll get right on that.
Apparently, unlike yours truly, author Stefanie Wilder-Taylor uses her daughter's naptimes for more adult pursuits. In Naptime Is the New Happy Hour: And Other Ways Toddlers Turn Your Life Upside Down, Wilder-Taylor discusses not only imbibing alcohol while your child(-ren) are sleeping, but also how to survive playdates, temper tantrums, and moms who swear their children never watch tv.
