I knew this time would come eventually, but oh, did I not want or expect it this early. The days of the 3+ hour naps are (sniff) over. Miss Kayley started having issues with staying up WAY too late at night, so I've resorted to waking her up after two hours of nap. And about every 3 or 4 days she refuses to take a nap at all. Olivia started not going down as easy at night either, but she seems to be over it now and back to normal. I miss my nice long 3+ hour break, but most days I still get 2 or a little more so it could be worse. Obviously the day will come when they won't nap at all and then I'll be really sad, although in a way it will be good because we can do more fun things during the day. But for now I'm going to soak up every minute of blissful quite that I can!
Last summer a friend of mine introduced me to this cool park on Mercer Island. When we went, we only played at the swimming beach and never explored the rest of the park or played on the playground. So yesterday, we finally went back with a picnic lunch and checked out some more of the park (there's still another section we didn't get to, so maybe next time). The playground was really cool with all sorts of nooks and cranies, and old-fashioned metal slides and ladders. They girls loved it. View from our picnic spot A pyramid with slides on the other side Lake Washington beyond Chair swings--never seen these before I-90 bridge over Lake Washington Trail along the lake leading to the swimming beach Should have brought swimsuits. They were SO sandy and wet coming home.
