EL has been skipping naps lately. I have heard of this happening, of course, and there is no possible way to make him sleep. We put him in bed for his nap time, and he is quiet for about 5 minutes before he starts to play. He tears up his room, jumps off of his piano, kicks on the door… he’s a stubborn little bugger. So, we decided to start something new…
We let him put himself down for a nap. Well, we constitute a ‘quiet time’ where he can read or play iPad or do a puzzle – something that quiets his mind and gets him to, say, stop jumping on the couch. Now, sometimes we get lucky and he ends up in his bed or in our bed – but lately, he’s been falling asleep in other places. He’s curled up and fallen asleep on the floor of my parents living room, on a couch at my inlaws, and while eating dinner.
Yep, that’s right. While eating his chicken nuggets. And who do you think is always there with a camera in hand? Yep! Mama!
Isn’t he precious? Toddlers are so funny.
