Don't worry...I will share with you!

During Meagan's supposed naptime today, I went downstairs with Bethany to keep her company. Sometimes she just gets like that--she needs to have someone in the same room with her whether or not they are talking to her or doing anything with her. Anyway, I brought the laptop down and she played on the desktop computer. I also brought a small bag of candy down with me. It didn't take long before she realized that I was eating some candy and she came over to investigate. I gave her one and told her it was called a robin egg. She called them Robin Hood eggs, and kept trying to grab the bag out of my hands. She said, "Don't worry... I will share with you." It was very funny. When there were only a couple left, I did actually give her the bag, and she did try to share with me, so I guess she wasn't kidding.

Meagan never did take a nap today, though. I thought she was asleep when I went downstairs, but I had to come upstairs for something and found her naked except the diaper, just lying in the hall. I put her clothes back on, put her back in bed and went back downstairs. Ten minutes later I came back to check, and she was in my room, on the bed, playing with some of Nate's things from his dresser. At that point I gave up and let her get up. I didn't think she would go to sleep, and it was getting late in the day.

A while later I was downstairs with the kids, and Meagan told me to lie down and close my eyes and go to sleep. I did lie down, but didn't expect to sleep, with all the noise around me. Next thing I knew, Meagan was tucking her teddy bear under my chin and wrapping me in her pink blanket. It was really cute. I went back to sleep again for another twenty minutes or so. It felt good.
