I love taking pictures of Joseph when he is asleep. Derek is a lighter sleeper so can be tricky, but Joseph as you can see is OUT! He always falls asleep with his purple cow that Grandma King gave him for his one year old birthday. He has become quite attached to it. Every night he insists that we sing the "Cow" song which is Old MacDonald. He uses cows tail to tickle his ear while he is falling asleep. He loves to tell cow what to do. For example, when he tells cow to dance, cow dances. He tries to do this with Derek as well. Sometimes Derek will obey, but sometimes Derek has his own plan and Joseph gets really frustrated. Why can't Derek be more like cow?
Now that we are in a big house it is so much easier to get the boys down for naps and bedtime at the same time. I love my two hours of nap time each day. Unfortunately, it barely gives me enough time to do chores, bills, and sometimes I sneak in some Pilates/Yoga time or a power nap if needed.
