The Nature of Naps

You know how sometimes you lay down to take a quick nap and when you wake up you just feel like you shouldn't have done it? You're grumpy that you have to get up, that you can't just sleep all day, and everything seems just as bad as (if not worse than) when you laid down. And then other times, you wake up and you feel AMAZING. Like the world is your oyster and you can't wait to get going and accomplish great things.

Apparently this nap dichotomy is established early in life. Sometimes Abby wakes up from her nap and she's just plain grumpy. She cries, and whines, and rubs her eyes and just generally appears to be unhappy with the world. And other times, she wakes up so darn happy that you just can't believe that she's ever been unhappy in her life. The other day Alex was lucky enough to witness the latter type of nap and, fortunately for the rest of us, he snapped a few photos.
