As I've written before my son HATES taking naps. I'm not sure what there is to hate about them. I mean honestly they're the best thing since sliced bread in my book. I actually look forward to the break just so I can watch
My bloggy friend Denae has naps down to a science!
Well, today was the FINAL straw.
My nap routine usually consists of:
Turning on Sesame Street
Lunch time
After it goes off, I change him and walk to the room for quiet time.
Well, this is when all hell breaks loose.
Noooooooooo! I'm not sleepy. No naptime! Elmo nap, not DJ. On and On. Well, needless to say, I led him to the room, read a book and kissed him and walked away. I did NOT look back, you know for fear that I would get suckered into telling him he didn't have to take a nap. That's usually what happens.
I was so proud of myself, it was quiet as kept after about 10 minutes I went in to check on him and was in total SHOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was sleeping very soundly.
Talk about crying it out for toddlers!
Despite the fact that he chose to decorate himself, the walls and carpet, he was sound asleep.
Question: How do you get diaper rash cream out of the carpet and off the no gloss painted walls? *sigh*
You can stop laughing at me now. And NO i will NOT post the photo of the catastrophe. I'm too traumatized.
