Good Ol' Fashioned Fun

Since Talia has been hit & miss with her naps lately (mostly misses) I have decided that I am tired of fighting her on this. In the last couple of weeks she has napped one time and the rest of the time I spend trying to get her to stay in her room for some quiet time. So today I thought instead of fighting this I would have her have some quiet time outside of her room for a change. What does a Mom do with a long rainy afternoon....build a tent of course. Tal and I had a picnic lunch under the tent and then we relaxed together. I didn't get any chores done but my little girl sure had a fun time. Maybe we'll try quiet time tomorrow....or maybe we'll develop a new routine of some combo of Mommy chore time/Talia quiet time. In the meantime, I'm gonna go cuddle with my gal who before I know it will be too big to fit under a homemade tent.
