Sleeping in the Rain...

The rain (and some sniffles) have made for some long nights around here lately.  A nap was mandatory today, but try explaining that to two five year olds when it's still raining outside.  (They hate sleeping when it is raining... it's the whole thunder and lightning threat...)  Ben slept a little but then woke up saying that he couldn't sleep while it was raining, although he absolutely denies being afraid...  he laid down on the living room couch where I happened to be at the time and fell right back to sleep.  He stayed asleep for two hours.  It was the longest nap that boy has had in a long time!  I guess, sometimes, you just need your mom around... I'm happy for those little moments when they remind me...
