Mama Naps vs. Baba Naps

Baba is napping. Me, "Shhh okay let's go play downstairs for two hours and keep it quiet while Baba is napping."

Mama's attempt at napping.  Pop in a DVD, give the kids preference (I normally try and choose the longest running one, obviously), settle in, and lay down. 10 minutes in, "Mama, I ate my cream cheese." "Okay." 5 minutes later, "Mama, I want pizza." Get up and grab a snack. "Mama, I pooped."  Get up and change diaper. "Mama, mama I want water." "Go find your cup." "Mama, come wipe me!" Get up and wipe behind. "Mama, I want my shoes." "We're not going anywhere." "Mama, I don't want George, I want Scooby Doo." "You chose George, too bad." My older son climbs on top of me and professes his love for me and starts kissing my face. The younger one follows suit, because of course he has to copy big brother.  After about an hour and a half of this, I decide it is futile to even attempt a nap, and I clocked in maybe 15 chopped up minutes of sleep. Not too bad, I guess. At least it wasn't a grumpy nap, THOSE are the worst.

Grumpy Nap (v.) - waking up from a nap even more tired and in a worse mood than when you woke up.
