solsc: it happens 17/31



March Slice of Life Story Challenge
hosted at the Two Writing Teachers
Join us for a month of writing!


Every once in awhile it happens.
Life with toddlers is exhausting.

We're on the go and keeping busy.
Going, and moving, and doing.  

playing games
dressing up
lots of laughing
coloring projects
hair accessories
keeping the peace
baby doll dressing
puzzle making
sometimes crying
tea parties
hide-and-seek
always enjoying

During the weekend we try.  
And yesterday I did it too.

Every once in awhile it happens.
A nap.  A much needed nap.

  2. I'm babysitting for my toddler grandson for two weeks at their house. It is surely an active age, and I am thankful for his nap times though I haven't been able to take one myself yet!

  6. YAY for naps! I love how you write about your girls, I wish I had blogged when my children were younger. They are going to have some precious treasures when they get older because of your writing.

  8. Those napping days are numbered, so take advantage when you can. Sunday afternoon is the perfect time to steal a few quiet moments and rest your eyes.

Ruth Ayres has a brand new book titled  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers   published by Stenhouse Publishers. It's another must read from Ruth.
