This may come as a shock to readers, but my two-year-old is not fond of napping. When I announced naptime, he hid behind the Curtain of Invisibility.

Naps are my favorite.

Funny how we appreciate them so much more when we’re older, when we have far less time for napping.

lucky for you that you’ve got a magic camera that can see through the curtain of invisibility or you might still be looking for the kid.

If I kept looking for too long, hopefully he’d get bored and fall asleep.

I am so not a toddler. Say “nap time” around me and I’m down for the count. Still, if you’re going to hide, do it the best way you know how!

He should’ve “hidden” in his crib–with all his toys. Hey, so long as he’s quiet in there, I’m good. One of my older kids recently told me that toward the end of her nap taking days, she’d actually color in her coloring book. I said, “That still worked for me! Good on you!”

Ha! The best part of this is, even if those were thick blackout drapes, you’d still see his feet poking out of the bottom. Kids are so funny!

Right?! Yes. And, of course, he knew I could see him. He still smiled for the camera. 🙂

Oh yeah. My BIL brags about all his kids stopping naps at age two, and all I could think was, your poor wife!

Reading him Harry Potter again, hmmm? No wonder he’s afraid to nap. Switch him to Grimm Fairy Takes.

Grimm’s fairy tales? Those are truly frightening, flojo. I should know, my uncle sent a copy. The originals were gruesome. Strange people lived in the Black Forest of Germany when the Grimm brothers were taking down their stories.

You must have a fight on your hands at nap time! Personally I’d go for hiding my head under a cushion with the logic of ‘if I can’t see you, you can’t see me’. In the mean time, the curtain of invisibility still works, you can’t enforce nap time with that level of cuteness 😂

He definitely uses his cuteness against me. There’s a reason they come out so cute and squishy… (Otherwise, you just want to drop kick them sometimes! Haha.)

So did you let him hide there while you sat there and read a book and he fell asleep? 🙂

I did not. I acknowledged his cuteness by taking his picture. Then I grabbed him and did naptime as usual.

I had one of those curtains, too, when I was a child, and I was always amazed that my mom had special “insight” to see beyond the invisibility. :-0 🙂

So funny! We had a cat that used to do that. SeaTac had a playmate: Blondie. SeaTac was the smarter of the two. He would chase Blondie, and she would stick her head into the curtains, thinking she couldn’t be seen–but of course, her backside would be sticking out. SeaTac would look at us as if to say, “Really? This is just too easy.”
