In the interest of accuracy, I feel that it is time to tackle one of the more sensitive subjects in the baby community...naps. While many people might think that life is all roses for us babies and they might even envy us for our naps, it isn't quite so simple. Often, we babies are FORCED (yes, there, I said it) to nap against our will. We are sitting there minding our own business, playing with toys when out of the blue, we feel a little bit emotional. We make the mistake of expressing verbally this emotional state and BANG, next thing you know we are getting prepared for a nap. My mom says that I have "indicator strips" on my eyebrows that turn red when it is time to take a nap. In the photo above, she CLAIMS that they are visible. I remain dubious. 
Next thing I know, I find myself in my bed...against my will. My emotions have taken ahold of me and I have lost the ability to control myself. I am, in a word, angry. (Five minutes after this photo was taken, it all goes fuzzy.)
Now, I know that these photos may shock some of you. The fact that she put me in my bed for a nap when I cried and fussed is, quite honestly, shocking. I feel that it is my duty, however, to come forward with the ugly truth of modern babyhood. It isn't quite the heavenly bliss that some might make it out to be. The sad truth is that, yes, I take two naps a day...whether I like it or not.
Let me just add one final piece of advice, you may find yourself getting sad, tearful, angry or even outraged at the heavy handed behavior of my mom. BEWARE, do not outwardly demonstrate any emotions to this effect in front of her or she could very well put YOU down for a nap too!
