But Mom, I'm Not Tired...

My goal for the afternoon is to get all three kiddos fed and down for nap by 1:00.  However, Eli only naps every three days.  The rest of the days he plays in his room, not napping.  And it is always surprising if I get both girls down at the same time.  But sometimes I am successful.  And on those days I am truly thankful.  Today I thought was one of those days.  But no sooner had I bragged to a friend that I had all three kids in bed and actually sleeping than did Esme start crying.  I tried ignoring her, hoping she would fall back asleep.  But she is still little and not quite old enough for me to leave her for long.  She did NOT fall back asleep.  Instead she is wide awake hanging here with me.  Hey, what can I say?  Maybe she just wanted some alone time with mom.
