teaching her how to nap

it was hard
at first,
because she was so energetic,
a go getter
of sorts,
so i had
to introduce
her to the afternoon nap,
teach her
how to do it.
i showed
her how to dim the lights,
turn
off the phone,
pull the shades to make
the room
dark. i convinced her
that it was best to take off all
your clothes too.
you don't want a belt
or tight shirt, loose
undergarments
disturbing you.
of course the nap turned
into other
things too,
which she didn't seem to mind.
and it made
the afternoon
nap that much sweeter
once we were through.
