I’m currently mourning the loss of a close family friend who has been with us for a long time now.  There’s no need to send flowers, but please join me in my grief as I announce that Lex’s daily morning nap is no longer with us.  My toddler has become (gulp!) a once-a-day napper.  

Lex doesn’t feel the sense of loss quite as deeply, as shown in the smiling picture below (this photo was taken during our last attempt at morning napping).

On a positive note, now Lex and I can be involved in more morning activities like library story times and play groups.  But my days of watching taped tv shows during Lex’s morning nap seem to be over.  (I need to go grab a kleenex…)
