Our granddaughter had trouble adjusting to naps at our house and would cry and cry in her crib. Rocking her and walking with her made little difference - she would begin to cry again as soon as she was laid down in her crib. One day, out of desperation, I wondered if she would sleep with her Pop, who was having a nap of his own. I carefully settled the baby on his chest and she was out like a light! Later I snuck in and took this photo. Nurturing and playing with our grandchildren is one of the best things about being an older adult. Building a deep connection with our granddaughters is a balm for our souls and one of the happiest things in our lives.
