Lily's Eyes

I was trying to get my children to take a nap yesterday afternoon. I don't usually do this because they don't usually sleep at night if they have a nap. But, yesterday morning was a LONG morning and my children were practically begging to lay down. William zonked right out. It's always Lily who has more of a problem napping.

After a little while of her being in there, I had a talk with her. I told her that she wasn't being punishes, she wasn't in trouble, but I knew that she needed to close her eyes and give her body a rest.

Lily: I can't go to sleep. I can't close my eyes, they're broken.

Best line ever for not taking a nap.

In other news concerning Lily's eyes, last week, she went on a playdate with William to a friends house. Henry is in our preschool and the kids absolutely love to play with him. Henry's mom told me that Henry and Lily were playing together and Henry kept looking up at Lily over and over again until he just said, "Lily, you have the most beautiful blue eyes."

Isn't that adorable?? Little did he know that those eyes would soon be broken because Lily didn't want to take a nap.
