Heidi Klum on the end of naps and why 2007 is a sad year

Model Heidi Klum, 34, currently making the rounds promoting Victoria’s Secret’s latest creation, spoke with the hosts of Good Day LA about a range of topics, including one most moms can relate to — the end of the nap.

Our daughter [Leni], at 3 years old, doesn’t nap anymore. She’s in swimming lessons, she wants to play tennis with me, she wants to jump around, pick flowers. She wants to be occupied all the time. It’s just different!

Definitely Leni, she’s up, she wants to learn and she’s like, ‘I want to learn this and I want to know that.’ She’s pretty amazing. She almost learned how to swim in four lessons. We’re very proud of her. [It's strange, going from] seeing your kid walk for the first time and now she’s diving into the pool.

That’s not to say that little brothers Henry, 22 months, and Johan, 8 months, get left out of all the fun.

Our house is like Toys R Us — huge playground outside, trampoline,slides, the swings. [Parenthood] definitely has changed our home a lot in the lastthree years. When you have a newborn it’s different; when they get olderthey want to be entertained. They want to do things all the time.

Heidi also spoke about the media attention on her body after three kids — and shares that yes, pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing changed her too. However, she feels it was all worth it.

People always say your body changes a lot after you have kids — and it does! But it’s worth it for me. The children are more important than myself. But I have not forgotten about myself. I enjoy my life more than ever now that I have this big family that I always wanted.

Joking about her consecutive 2004, 2005, and 2006 deliveries, Heidi laughs,

[2007] is a very sad year — I’m not pregnant!

Heidi Klum's water babies

Heidi Klum may have some future Olympic swimmers on her hands. Leni, 3,and Henry, 22 months, are taking to the water quite easily after only ahandful of swimming lessons, the supermodel revealed on The TonightShow with Jay Leno.

Leni did four swimming lessonsalready. She can’t make it all the way across – I have to help her inbetween to come up (inhales) and then she goes under again. But forfour times and she’s just turned 3. Henry sort of [swims]. He goesunder and he has super curly hair, and when he goes under and it’s wet,it’s all, like, long. So he comes up with the curly hair.

Neither Leni or Henry are scared of swimming as Heidi hasalways put them in the water. But it’s not time for Johan, 8 months, to get wet yet.

I wouldn’t throw Johan in. You know how some people sayyou put your infant in and then they will just swim? I dunno about that- like here, swim, you’ll be fine!
