Sweet Sleep

My two year old is taking a nap.  I have dishes in the sink.  My groceries aren't put away.  But my two year old is taking a nap.  Somehow that two hour window in my day makes life for me and him, just a little sweeter.   

Shakespeare wrote:

Sleep that knits up the ravelled sleave of care
The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath
Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course,
Chief nourisher in life's feast.
Macbeth

So funny -- I just blogged about my non-nap.

Project playlist search for you:
"Sleep" by Eric Whitacre. Pick the "choral" one--it's by BYU Singers. (I own the album, it's very good.) Huzzah for a Capella.

I love that sleep time, I hope he keeps it up for a long time. It is great time to rejuvinate for both of us. Nice music and Halloween picture, we love it.
