working myself out of a job

we had just returned home from sawyer's doctor appointment this afternoon and i still had to feed him his lunch. i asked miriam if she would "read" levi a story and put him down for his nap. i figured, no harm done if it doesn't work. about 20-30 minutes later as i was finishing feeding sawyer, i realized it had been unusally quiet upstairs (which, as a parent, you never know if that's a good thing or a bad thing) and went up to check on them. two of miriam's Bob Books sat neatly at the top of the stairs and the kids were both in their beds--asleep. i knew they were both tired, but i didn't expect that!
