Last year for my birthday my sister, Jaime, got me a sleeping mask. I have always wanted one because my eyes very sensitive to light, even when they are closed. The fact that I thought it would be uncomfortable is what kept me from purchasing one. It is AWESOME. Especially for napping. As soon as I opened it, the kids were fighting over it and I told them I would make them one. It took me a few months to get around to because I needed to buy elastic, but hey I had a newborn. I used fabric scraps I had around the house including blackout fabric from my roman shades. They are not half as nice as mine, but they do the trick for the kids and I made them in less than 20 minutes total!

They all keep their mask in or next to their beds. For a while they were just an accessory and not really used...at least not for sleep. Lucy had thought it was fun to pretend she was blind, but after running into several things and getting hurt, the mask has remained on her night stand. Toby would not wear it while sleeping, but would bring it with him if he came into our bed in the middle of the night. They have been in use recently for when my typical non-nappers nap. It is just too cute.
