Nap time!

Nap time has really been a struggle recently. Mostly because Benson can just get out of bed if I don't stay until I'm asleep. But there are a few helps...

1. He loves his neck being stroked. A nice soft glide of your finger across the back if his neck and he instantly relaxes and his eyes begin to shut.

2. Singing!! Mostly primary songs and lullabies, but almost anything will do.

3. Give him the right company. "Bear" was given to him from Santa. He lights up and hugs it for dear life as soon as you show it to him!

4. Give him his favorite pillow!! My Gran gave all my kids fleece pillows for Christmas and they LOVE them. His is the adorable puppy pawprint one you see in the background!

Do these four things and time it right, and you just might have a sleeping babe in less than four minutes!!! (With luck on your side anyway)
