JDaniel is a pretty good napper in the afternoon. He tends to be a very light sleeper though. Some afternoons the neighbors don’t seem to realize that it is nap time. They start mowing their lawns or trimming trees with chainsaws. The mailperson has to let me know that she has a package for me by banging on the door and ringing the doorbell. The special garbage truck that picks up branches and grass clipping has to slowly gather up things on both sides of the street outside our house. It is like the whole world has decided to make noise.
I have come up with a solution to the problem. Batman had a signal that he could shine up in the sky to signal trouble. Do you think it would work for me to fly a huge kite over my house during naptime to signal that I needed the outside world to be really really quiet?

Don’t you hate that? This happens to us all of the time. Big Brother could sleep through a hurrican, but Little Brother is such a light sleeper. I think the kite’s worth a try!
I used to hate that when my boys were napping age. I was walking on tip toes around the house and the outside world would not cooperate,lol.
Speaking of naps B just climbed in his bed and fell asleep Yay For nsptime too bad it’s not that easy all the time

Very cute idea! I can relate! When my kids were little they were light sleepers all the time. We have a recycling truck that comes around at 6 AM! During the summer, it is especially tough because windows are open and we hear it all. Why 6 is all I ask???
That is the best idea!!! People don’t realize how important naptime is!
most yes! nap time was my sanity retrieval mechanism!
Good luck! 🙂
When they become teenagers, they start napping all over again! lol..
Stopping by to say hi and catching up on some reading!

Haha! Great idea! Happy SITS Saturday!
yes! Fly it over my house too, okay? 🙂
Happy SITS Saturday!
What a great idea! I’m also glad to see this topic in a blog post. It seems like every time my son is napping, an oil truck decides to stop right outside his window to fill someone’s tank, or a college student is blaring music while slowly getting into their car.
I LOVE this idea. We live pretty far out in the country, but our neighbors on both sides work all day and they have these dogs that bark constantly. The dogs are barking to each other back and forth and the sound cuts right through our house.
A kite would be awesome ;). Or a billboard.
lol, broxton fights his naps.. every single day…
i wish flying a kite would MAKE HIM NAP
