Man down.........


Jeff is not home yet, but when he walks in the door, this will be the scene greeting him. We have been working on Ben on giving up naps. From a mother of a 2 yr old's standpoint it is a horrible thing to do. There is nothing like that little bit of time in the afternoon where the whole world is calm and quiet. Especially right now while I am 32 weeks pregnant (not that I am counting). The tradeoff though is then having trouble getting him to sleep at night. When he doesn't have a nap, I can get him to sleep within 15-20 mins after family prayer. When he does have a nap, it is taking over an hour. So really it is a tradeoff of having some time with Jeff in the evening to talk to another adult, or having the peace during the day.....hmm.....

Today, I felt as though I was successful, but had to run to QFC for a couple last minute things for dinner. Apparently the 2 block ride home was just too much for him. He walked 3 steps in the house and crashed to the floor asleep. Looks like another long night...

We are dealing with the same thing! Andrew gets pretty grumpy and I know he needs a nap but if he does, he can stay up till 11pm! I remember going through the same thing with Kelsi. Ben looks so cute (and innocent :)) laying there!

That is way too cute. You will have to tell us what Jeff though; hopefully he did not trip over Ben!

If you give him a nap early in the day he will make it till 7:30 or 8:00

I have tried earlier - he doesn't ever fall asleep. Bummer that he may be phasing them out!

That's really cute. Can I just say how totally jealous I am that he can just go to sleep anywhere he falls? So jealous.
