The nap is not at a convenient or conventional time, but it's a nap! Vincent has decided that naps are unnecessary. While Vince can still function without a nap, he does better with one. Of course he does! He is just twenty months old. He will often fall asleep in the car, and also in the pack on my back. But it's not practical to go for a drive every afternoon, and the kid is too heavy to pack around for long. So most days we have a short rest time, which means I have a rest while he bounces around in his crib like a rubber ball. Zoe stays quietly in her room.
We had a busy weekend, and I took the kids to playgroup this morning, so it's no wonder Vincent is tired. We lounged on the sofa reading books and singing songs, and he just kept getting sleepier. He nodded off around 4pm. Zoe got the camera and took a picture. The shutter click startled Vince a bit, and he came awake just enough to say "Boo," his version of peek-a-boo. Then he snuggled down more comfortably on my lap and went back to sleep. I was able to sneak away, and Zoe has been very cooperative about staying quiet (mostly) and not pestering her brother (much).

What good pictures! He sure DOES look exhausted! What a wonderful sister!!
Really good pictures! I agree, he looks so tired and so sweet. How considerate of Zoe to capture the moment.
Sounds like Vincent is a Snapper (short napper). A good quality for later in the life :)
I like "Snapper"! Very descriptive. It's so hard to give up when life is so full of adventures.
Z is turning into quite the photographer.
Yes, agree to all! She's doing great. And good job to Vince for finally letting go. It feels so good to have a rest.
