That's the spirit! Good for you. I have vivid memories of trying to paint the one wall 10 feet wide, at the top of the steps with my under 2 year old literally hanging on my knee. It took all day and was one of my proudest moments.

Oh did I mention that my kid was the original "No-Sleep" model? Never had a nap, no matter what I did, and I was used to kids had tons of nephews and nieces that I lived with and took care of so I wasn't green. She only slept from midnight to 6 am from the day she was born till now. Never had a night feeding which the nurses couldn't believe for the first 10 days in the hospital (I had an infected cesarean for three months!) They would try to wake her twice during the night and frightened that they couldn't. Oh and my MIL? She had surgery the same day and was out of kilter for a couple of months herself. So no help there.

Be grateful for the naps, they may not last, they don't for all kids.
