A Letter

Dear Afternoon Nap,

Whatever I did, or didn't do, I'm sorry. I take it back. Don't be this way. I need you. I can't make it without you. After all our good times, we've been so good together, I'm not ready to let it end like this. Please don't go.

Sincerely,
Me

PS: If it's really over, can you get me the number of your hot friend, you know, Longer Morning Nap? Thx.

I agree in theory but in practice, I think she gets so full of adrenalin from panic/rage if I leave her that it makes getting her down for a nap take much longer than if she only goes into the crib once she's asleep. (The longest I've left her was eight minutes and she screamed the entire time - I mean, going between 9 and 10 on her dial, not just crying. I have a longer post brewing about The Screaming, Comma, My Hatred Thereof.) We're going to do some practicing of It's Okay To Be Awake In The Crib while she's *not* tired, in hopes that she'll start to find it less upsetting, but I suspect it won't come easy.
