OUCH.

Um , yeah.
This week is hurting a bit.
Dude is on his forth day without a nap.
Seems to me, and I'm guessing here, if nap time is in the big boy bed Ben has no intention of participating.  Don't get me wrong, he is in that flipping bed for an hour and a half whether he naps or not but he leans heavily towards the not side.


Yikes.


So, yesterday we went to visit the favourite Auntie Kristen.  Pool side fun and car travel and treats and so on but no nap.  He did eat a good protein rich dinner followed quickly by a bottle though and crashed at about 7:45.  Slept all the way home (100kms) and stayed asleep until 8:40 this morning...


Looking for a repeat my friends.
No nap in nap land today.  Gave it the allotted 90 minutes and only lost it once or twice (or 65 thousand times) firmly telling the short person to lay down and close his eyes...only to hear a variety of one liners such as "need one biiiiig kiss mama, like a daddy kiss, a mama kiss and tree baby kiss please" or another favourite "oh maaaan!  see dorda and boots t.v. please, now?"


Instituted a new rule...big boys who don't sleep don't get T.V. and they must play quietly while mama does her nap time cleaning.  He rocked actually.  I cleaned out and organized 2 kitchen cupboards and did 2 loads of laundry while his farm and zoo animals built nuclear families in the livingroom.


So dinner was early, protein rich and followed by a nice big bottle (hoping to forever avoid a repeat of the crash and burn rice incident of 2010).  A bit of evening visiting with friends and then the man went down in his big boy bed shortly after 8.


Here's hoping for a nice late wake up....
