Watermelon is AWESOME!

Even though I don't like the taste of watermelon and don't eat it, I've been getting a health benefit out of it this summer. Callie had been having trouble with napping the week before last, which means she didn't think she needed to take them. But, being almost 31 weeks pregnant, I know she really needs them still, for both our sakes. Here's how it would go--she would refuse her nap, have "quiet time" in her bed so I could take a break and then be exhausted and fall asleep at 5:30pm. Don't think so! Thankfully, she LOVES watermelon (like her daddy). So, we started the reward system. If she takes a great nap, she gets a "special treat" which is a plate of watermelon at her favorite table.

(Thanks Peter and Martha!!!--we use the table and chairs all the time!)

Sometimes, daddy is requested to dine with her as well.

So far, it's working well and napping has become a positive experience again. Yay!
