Simultaneous Toddler Naps in a 2 bedroom apt.

So some days remind me how good I am at this job and that it is, indeed, a job that requires skills. This is how it all happened: A (19 mo. old) was scheduled to come over to D's (17 mo. old) house at 12:30 to take a nap in his parent's bedroom (in the pack-and-play). While D started to wind down around 12:15, I set nap-mosphere in the parents' bedroom for A and scooped up D, changed his diaper while his eyes were rolling back, popped in his pacifier and set him in his crib at just the right time that he fell right asleep. Ten minutes later, A comes in the door with her mom who passes her off to me, we read Go, Dog, Go! in the bed and sing a few songs before I convince her the pack-and-play is a nice place to sleep (she's a screamer) if you've got your very exciting music box playing "Edelwiess" in the background. With no complaints, she's out cold in 3 minutes.
