Sometimes you should not enjoy the quiet - that was my lesson for yesterday. I have been so happy with how I am dealing with the two girls by myself - I thought it was going to be hard and I would be reduced to tears but so far no tears and only a couple of two year old tantrums - one or two each day is awesome.
Yesterday I put Lily down for a nap while I was feeding and thought there were two options arch up or she would fall asleep. She did fall asleep but not in the bed where I had put her down - she had moved into the living room but was fast asleep. I took the opportunity to catch up on some sleep as well but should have realised that quiet is not a measure of a two year old being asleep.
She had a sleep but when I checked on her later she had found a permanent marker and some chocolate in the top drawer. She was occupied and happy but chocolate and permanent markers unsupervised is not a good combination. Slowly my house is becoming rearranged for my own sanity.
When the child health nurse kept insisting I sleep when Sophie did I wondered how this was possible with a two and a half year old :) I agree, quiet in our household does not necessarily equal sleep... rather usually mischief of some sort :)
