So Anthony wouldn’t sleep today. Not just the “I’ll only sleep for a few min” that he sometimes does but flat-out no - I won’t sleep. He’s been up since 6:30a. YES It’s been a verrrry long day. To top that off Nick has the brilliant notion to bring him by his parent’s house to cheer them up so Anthony didn’t even get to attempt the 2nd nap that I was going to put him down for. Needless to say - it’s been a verrry long day. Am I repeating myself? Well it bears worth repeating. Ant fussed his way through an early dinner (which got burned by the way while we were visiting the grandparents - salvageable but barely) and his bath. I put him down early at 6:15 instead of his normal 7 - 7:30 since he was being a klutz. A sure sign he is tired. What does he do? Nurses for 15 min - wide awake. Not a sign of a droopy eyelid in sight. So I put him in his crib figuring he’ll drop off like he normally does. Does he? NO! He plays, he coos, he says “bubbles” (newly learned this week), he cries, he throws himself around and then quiet (an hour later)! “Finally”, I’m thinking. I check the video monitor and …. the little stinkpot was pulling his dirty clothes from his hamper through the slats on his crib and playing with them. Oy vee!
(one long non-grammatical paragraph later) and I go in there, retrieve the clothes, nurse him again and wait! just wait - a droopy eyelid. I put him back in his crib and he screams for the next 2 min and bam! asleep.
I hate days like this. Hopefully he sleeps really well tonite cause I definitely need it.
