This kid puts the pow in power nap. He can literally sleep anywhere, anytime. The siblings are jumping around, the dog is barking, the phone is ringing, and there’s Jake, catching flies on the couch.

And I am all for it!

This kid is out the door before 5:30 every morning for sports practice, has a full extra-curricular plate of Bible study, youth group, and Science Olympiad, in addition to his academic schedule. So if he wants to crash on the couch for an hour, go right ahead. This is an interesting article on the benefits of napping. Plus, there are many famous men throughout history who are known for their napping skills.

I often think back to his toddler days, and how much he loved sleeping back then. He could barely even walk yet, and he would hold onto the rail of his crib, whining to go in. I’m convinced that Jake’s large amount of sleep has contributed to his tall stature!
