The Nap is BACK!

Well, I say that, but I feel tentative about saying it, even though Jonah has napped for the last five days in a row! I still can't believe it really. I mean, I was worried it was gone for good. And I'm not convinced that it's back to stay either. Getting Jonah to nap for the last five days has been very difficult! He has definitely been very tired, but also very adamant about not wanting to nap.

What were (are) the tactics involved? He says he doesn't want to go to sleep, says he's hungry, says he's thirsty, says his bum hurts and other various body parts. He says "Big guys don't sleep." He takes his "sleep sweater" off. He throws everything out of the playpen. He gets out of the playpen. He climbs under the playpen mattress. He cries. He yells "Mommy" and so on... You get my drift! This really hasn't been fun.

Having Glenn home Tuesday through Thursday really helped - cuz HE was in charge! Thanks babe!!

The weird thing is that nap time is now pretty much the only time of day that he seriously complains and/or whines and/or cries (aside from injuries). He actually seems to enjoy cuddling with us more. He definitely loves Ivy more. And he has fallen asleep in the car twice - he NEVER did that, even when we gave him his soothers. So, I'm really glad we took the soothers away. It seems to have forced him to grow up a little, if you know what I mean. He has changed SO MUCH in the last 3 months. We're so proud of him! We're looking forward to taking him back to Canada and showing him off, long hair and all! We'll be back in less than 3 weeks! As expected, the time has flown!
