Sleep Questions

When I put Abbie down for her nap, I shut her door and leave it shut for about two hours. I spend that time taking a nap, exercising, taking a shower, and otherwise briefly connecting with my non-parent self. What she does during that time is up to her. Usually she bangs around her room for a few minutes, determines if her dresser drawers still make that same loud noise when she slams them, and goes to sleep until I open the door. Sometimes she’ll wake up a little early, in which case she’ll bang around some more until I open the door. She usually spends most of the time in her room sleeping, but on very rare occasions she stays awake for a long time. She had one of those occasions a few days ago. After stepping out of the shower, I opened her door and asked myself several questions, such as:

Did she even fall asleep?

If she fell asleep, was it in her bed or the twins’ crib?

Is it possible she fell asleep in the laundry basket?

Where did the wipe warmer end up?

Didn’t the diaper stacker have more diapers than this?

Which clothes on the floor are dirty ones pulled from the laundry basket, and which are clean ones pulled from her dresser?

What is all over the front of her shirt?

How did she get that bottle of skin lotion?

Is skin lotion harmful when swallowed?

Where did she find that pacifier?

Did someone give her all those stuffed animals, or are they procreating?
