Dear Mother, Maybe I will nap today Maybe I wont I might nap too early I might nap too late I might wake up too early I might wake up too late I might stay super happy, laughing a tad bit hysterically at everything I might stay super cranky, crying a tad bit hysterically at everything I might teeter on the edge of any mood, keeping you on your toes and so very careful I might fall off the edge, into the abyss of toddler insanity Maybe I will nap today Maybe I wont I might utterly refuse to nap, extremely belligerently I might beg for a nap, crying for it I might cling to you all afternoon, preferred position: Lap. Fingers intwined with yours. I might scream at the very sight of you I might be really lethargic I might be really hyper I might lie down and make you lie down and trick you into thinking I will fall asleep, waste an hour of your life and then sit up grinning I might lie down and make you lie down and fall asleep in less than a minute Maybe I will nap today Maybe I wont I might get over tired and fall asleep for the night at 7pm I might get over tired and not be able to fall asleep till 11pm I might proclaim proudly, Im big now, only the baby sleeps. I might whimper, But Im so tiiiired, I need to sleep. I might be so cheerful everyone will say, Yes shes done with the nap for good now. I might be so difficult everyone will say, She really needs to be napping. The day is too long for her. I might nap the very second you decide to take me out for an afternoon play date I might decide not to nap the very second you decide to make dinner plans for the night Maybe I will nap today Maybe I wont The more you need me to, the less likely I am to The less you want me to, the more likely I am to But whether I nap or not, what should be clear is that between the hours of 12pm and 7pm, I will be wholly unpredictable, wildly excitable, completely unmanageable. This can go on for a few days, weeks or months. Please, mother, keep up. Love, #Beti
