Napping House

This is 
Miss M 
napping in her favorite spot 
in her closet on the floor.

It is supposed to be a little spot for reading, but every time she reads, she falls asleep, so it has turned into more of a spot for napping!

This reminds me of a favorite story of our kids' when they were little: "THE NAPPING HOUSE".
(It went like this.)

There is a house,
a napping house,
where everyone is sleeping

And in that house
there is a bed,
a cozy bed
in a napping house,
where everyone is sleeping.

And on that bed
there is a granny,
a snoring granny
on a cozy bed
in a napping house,
where everyone is sleeping.

And on that granny
there is a child,
a dreaming child
on a snoring granny
on a cozy bed
in a napping house,
where everyone is sleeping.

And on that child
there is a dog,
a dozing dog
on a dreaming child
on a snoring granny
on a cozy bed
in a napping house,
where everyone is sleeping.

And on that dog
there is a cat,
a snoozing cat
on a dozing dog
on a dreaming child
on a snoring granny
on a cozy bed
in a napping house,
where everyone is sleeping.

And on that cat
there is a mouse,
a slumbering mouse
on a snoozing cat
on a dozing dog
on a dreaming child
on a snoring granny
on a cozy bed
in a napping house,
where everyone is sleepin.g

And on that mouse
there is a flea . . .
Can it be?
A wakeful flea
on a slumbering mouse
on a snoozing cat
on a dozing dog
on a dreaming child
on a snoring granny
on a cozy bed
in a napping house,
where everyone is sleeping.

A wakeful flea
who bites the mouse
who scares the cat,
who claws the dog,
who thumps the child,
who bumps the granny,
who breaks the bed,
in the napping house,
where no one now is sleeping!
