Today as Clara, Piper and I were napping upstairs and Ivy was watching a movie downstairs, I awoke to the sound of purposeful footsteps.
Small purposeful footsteps that came stomping through the house, up the stairs and into my room.
I kept my eyes closed hoping it would go away.
When Ivy yelled, “MOM!” next to the bed in what could only be described as an “outside voice” I lost all hope.
“Yes?”
In a tone of indignation: “Piper ate my dinner.”
I responded without opening my eyes with some mumbly half asleep line about how the dog shouldn’t have done that but you never ate it and you didn’t put it away when you were done and it’s been sitting out for 3 hours so should we be surprised by this?
Ivy was quite for a moment, and then: “Mom…. aren’t you going to say something to Piper?”
I opened my eyes and looked at Piper who was cuddled up next to me also faking sleep. I gave her a very half-hearted, “Bad dog, don’t eat Ivy’s food.” and closed my eyes.
Apparently satisfied that justice had been served the little footsteps left my room, headed down stairs and climbed up on the counter looking for a snack.
Behind the Willows 
Very funny! Henry naps in my room and sometimes I get to nap with him. I don’t have many “rules” around here but one rule for sure is that the big boys can’t interupt nap unless there is blood. Because Charlie would come in to just check if Henry is sleeping and ask me when I was coming out. One time there was blood, (very minor bleeding) and Charlie made it very clear in the first second of waking Henry that there was REAL blood. Now that I read what I am saying I think I should have more “rules” because they seem to follow this one. Naps are very critical for Henry at this age!
I like your rule I think I might have to implement it here!
