Lucia has discovered a thing called naps. You would think a newborn would sleep a lot during the day but not her. Until now. See, apparently she wanted me to tell her when it was an appropriate time to rest and put her in bed with the curtains drawn. I thought she would just conk out wherever she was when sleepiness set in. Hey, I'm new at this parenthood thing. But now we have a lovely little ritual in the afternoons and every one is feeling well rested as a result. Next I might even try introducing her to a fancy thing called the crib.
