Quiet time solution (finally)

Wow, finally something is working. I've been struggling and trying everything for "quiet time" as naps are gone....

Books on CD. Today, I have a twinkle twinkle little star by Iza (can't remember last name - you can google). Anyway, it's on repeat. And they are quiet. Not totally staying in bed or completely quiet. But MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH better! It's almost peaceful (comparatively).

I've got some other books / cds from the library. I'll let you know which works. I'm also asking my husband to sound record him reading all of our favorite "quiet/sleepy/restful" books and then make a CD. They miss him so much during the week while he's at work, i think this might help that issue too!

woohoo. happy mommy!!!!!!!!! and maybe the girls won't be so cranky the rest of the evening since they've had "down" time.

 

Iza Trapani...I love those books! I didn't know they came on CD. I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the tip.

 

"oh my goodness" (as Sydney says all the time).

They are asleep! They are actually napping! I bow down to Iza Trapani. BTW Only 3 of her books come on CD according to her website.

Wow, stunned, happy mommy! of course, this will mean a later bedtime...... but dh is here so no big deal. wow, i'm shocked. this is like a miracle. you have no idea how many many months of frustration this has been. wow!

 

Wahoo for surprise naps!!! :woohoo:
