Felicity’s favourite things: naptime

Felicity has a few favourite things: bottle tops and tuna fish, wool blankets, and naptime. Specifically, naps with me. Mr Dreamy doesn’t nap often enough to make it worth her while to get excited about. Felicity loooooooooooves napping with me. If she thinks it is the right time of day, and there is a chance I might nap (something I do once or twice a week), she hopefully follows me into the bedroom every time I head that way.

She finally climbed all the way in, and I tried to persuade her to pose. Maybe next time! She decided it was fun to pretend that camera sounds were scary, and that was the end of my cat and hatbox photos session.

And in other news, I’m going off for 10 days on a camping trip with my little sister and friends, and the blog will be on autopilot, so don’t be surprised if I don’t respond to all your fabulously clever comments right away (please do leave them though..I need something to look forward to once the trip is over and I have to go back to work and ordinary life!)
