I taught 2 piano students this morning at 11 and 11:30. When I was just beginning to teach the first student, Courtney came in the living room and gave me a big hug and kiss. Then she was quiet the rest of the lessons (which is unusual for her because she usually needs "mommy time" when I'm teaching). I didn't think anything about it. When I finished lessons, I called to Ethan and Courtney to get their shoes on so we could run some errands. Ethan came out of his room ready but Courtney didn't so I opened her door and went in. The light was on but I couldn't see her anywhere and it was really quiet. So I called, "Courtney" and suddenly a lump on her bed moved. She had gotten tired and put herself down for a nap! I was floored...but then I was mad at myself because I had woken her up! She doesn't take 2 naps in the day but I think she must have napped for around 45 minutes, so it wasn't too bad. She was pretty disoriented that I was calling her name but she woke up pretty quickly.
I've never had that experience before...a child putting herself down for a nap. Hummm.
