Of Snoozing and Seasons

I’m just beginning to realize that it may be a bit of a problem for Claire to share my studio. Fact is, my dear girl-child sleeps through the night now –
yes
10 hours
every night
(!)
And I am finally getting enough sleep that – gasp – I can skip my nap without too-dire consequences. Which, when I manage things right, leaves me with – GASP – a little bit of precious free time in the afternoons. Perfect time to get in the studio – except that’s where Claire is sleeping. Hmmm, maybe she will have to take her afternoon nap in my bed. That will work until she starts rolling over.
It’s all about seasons – and when you’re a mother of small children, seasons change as fast as spring weather in NY. You must embrace the one you’re in until it skips away…
