While you were sleeping...

Despite being 3 years old, Gerritt needs about 15 hours of sleep per day. No, I am not complaining since I would rather have a child who takes naps than the one who never needs one. Lately, he has been napping from 1 pm until 5:60-6 pm, so Sophia & I often need to find something to occupy ourselves (in contrast, Sophia usually takes only one 1- or 2-hour nap per day). Sometimes we read books; sometimes we sing or dance; & sometimes we play hide-and-seek. This particular afternoon, I needed to rake some of the fallen tree foliage & Sophia was happy to help.
