Neither of my children are good sleepers
My daughter stopped taking naps as soon as she was able to
My son thankfully will still sleep but protests as he is being put down
Why is it that as children we feel the need to stay awake as long as we possibly can
As adults, we never feel like we get enough sleep
There is so much going on and we try to jam it into a 24 hour period
Then we feel bad if we miss or can't complete our tasks
The sleep of a baby or even that of a small child is carefree
There is no thought of the meeting that ate into the report that had to be done by noon
They are just excited about everything that is happening around them
That is why they don't want to sleep
With so much excitement how can anyone sleep
I just wish that I could sleep like my children once they are asleep
Blissfully in their own land of wonder
