If your child still naps how long do they sleep and what do you do during this time? Do you use it to accomplish chores or take some r&r time to yourself?
My ds usually naps for 40 minutes once a day (but we are now working having quiet time/nap for 90 minutes. I usually use this time to relax, bump, wach tv and get one or two chores done.
Re: what do you do during nap time?
Usually nap time = my workout time. We have a treadmill and elliptical in the basement. I also have 4 Jillian DVD's.
Today, I need to mow so I ran while she was awake & occupied with her sisters so I can mow while she sleeps.
Nap or quiet time is my dinner prep-work time. I try to get everything ready, from chopping the veggies, to measuring out the seasonings and liquids.
That gives me 30 minutes to prep our afternoon fun or nest, whichever works.
I usally fold laundry and do the dishes. Clean up the house, think.about dinner. Bump. Watch netflix. Window shop online.
Sometimes he naps, sometimes he doesn't.
I should do things like laundry and dishes... but I usually Bump, catch up on shows, read some blogs, shop online.

depends on the day. Usually I definitely clean, straighten up, do laundry and rest. My daughter still takes 3 hour naps though, plus about 30-45 minutes to fall asleep.
I barely slept at all last night and we have been out of the house since before 10, so I am definitely resting.
I have two sets of nappers, so when the wee one takes a morning nap I do a handson projects with the 2 yr olds. If all three nap at the same time in the afternoon, I workout, eat lunch, and do a chore. If they don't overlap I usually have to skip working out.
DS2 - Oct 2010 (my VBAC baby!)
DS1 goes to school at 12:30. DS1 and I get back around 1 and he goes for a nap. I get about 1-1.5 hours to get everything cleaned up before I have to wake DS2 up to go get DS1.
Or DS2 stays up until we get DS1 and passes out in the car on the way home. Then I get to clean up, feed DS1, and get dinner made.
I had totally forgotten about that post. That was hilarious!
