I Wonder as I Wander

There's this sweet spot in his day when Caleb gets me all to himself. I often wonder why his naps are always shorter than his sister's, but I think I've got it figured out.

With Jacob and Abby both still napping, Caleb, my early riser, has from about 3:30 to 4 each afternoon to enjoy some uninterrupted Mommy time. It's the perfect time to strap on his sister's backpack, wander around the house loading it with essentials--dinosaurs and a stuffed rabbit on this occasion--and build a "choo choo train of trucks" (as he calls it) for Mommy to admire that no one will destroy.

Part of me wishes he would nap as long as his sister. And part of me really misses these moments on days that he does.
