nap time

"nap time" is not optional for ava on the weekends, but actually sleeping in. when she was little, of course, we made sure she slept - otherwise she was just a disaster in the evening. then we went through a phase where we preferred that she did not sleep - otherwise she was too hard to get to bed. these days, we don't really care either way. ava's bedtime performances don't seem particularly correlated with how much sleep she's actually had or needs.

so, we just put her in her room and close the door. surprisingly, about 33% of the time, she actually decides of her own little accord that she'll crawl into bed and have a little snooze. today was one of those days, and when we went in to wake her up, we found her sleeping arrangement quite amusing.
