it took about a year to get my little guy to take nice regular naps.  i spent so many hours walking around with him in the beco, or rocking him in a chair, or nursing him to sleep.  now at the age of two, he consistently sleeps for an hour and a half nap with very little assistance from me.  in the past year, there may have been two maybe three times when the nap never came.  this is one of those times.  we were staying with my in-laws in my husband’s childhood home.   after an hour of playing in the pack n play turned to screaming, i headed in and tried to calm him by placing him in the bed and lying down next to him.  once i realized that the nap was a lost cause, i grabbed my camera and captured him playing in the beautiful fading light of that winter afternoon.
