When the Kid takes a nap, it's like the world goes into a hyper state of being. Unicorns and Rainbows litter the skies, while elves come out of hiding from their homes in the walls. Clouds open their eyes from a drowsy sleep and flutter away with thunderous yawns, opening up the earth to the Sun's rays of vitamin D happiness.
AND SHIT GETS DONE!
Now, there are those times "when they sleep, you sleep." This is true. There have been those nights when she can't sleep, which means I can't sleep. These naps on those days are perfect times to be asleep yourself.
Mostly, I get to work. There is sooooo many things that can get done while she rests. For instance:
-cleaning up around the house
-cooking lunch or dinner
-cleaning dishes
-doing laundry
-binge watching Netflix shows
-writing a blog
-taking out the trash
-enjoying a Mojito (responsibly)
-learning a new language
-reading a book
-polishing your resume (if you'd like to see mine, just ask)
-vacuuming
Of course, don't vacuum if your kid's a light sleeper. My kid can sleep through a hurricane. I don't know if that saying is true, but I DO know she can sleep through Decepticons battling Optimus Prime riding a dinosaur waving a sword with Micheal Bay Explosions EVERYWHERE!!!... That has been tested.
All going back to multitasking, naps are a perfect time to get things done.
