Dear Vaughn

If I had known you were going to have a 2+ hour nap today, I would have had a shower and an elaborate lunch.  You, of the catnaps lately.  You've kept me on my toes, napping for 15, 30, 45 minutes max lately.  Enough time to grab a quick lunch and put my feet up for a few precious moments before hearing your familiar ak-ak call, crying out to me.  I have tried to coax you back to slumber, assuring you that 20 minutes is not enough time for your mid-day nap.  I have walked and rocked and pacified to no avail.  I have held you in my arms, or nursed you to slumber on the boppy, but nothing kept you dreaming for long.  Today your morning nap was about an hour, and I'm sitting here 135 minutes after your mid-day nap started, wondering when you'll call.  I can only assume you'll be in a good mood after such a restful afternoon, right?  There you are, I can't wait to see your smile.
