He must be a genius since he can read the "kick me" sign taped to my back

The baby is really kicking my ass this week. Already. It's only Tuesday. Sigh. It's so much more work now that he's mobile, so much more chasing and fishing things out of his mouth. And putting the bowl of dog water up then bringing it down, then repeating fifty or so times. But lots more fun too, turns out he's super ticklish. So when I'm just so tired and he REFUSES to nap, I just tickle him for a while. Totally worth it.

Ah yes, refusing to nap. Who needs naps, anyways? The boy who regularly took three two-hour naps a day is lucky to get two one-hour naps in at this point. And it's not slowing him down one bit. Boot camp and playgroups and lunches with various grandmas keep him going, and then there's always the cat. Nothing like crawling furiously in a fruitless attempt to catch a cat. Good luck with that.

Ahhh...welcome to the joys of toddler parenting! Hopefully pretty soon he'll settle into one 2 hour nap mid-day.

hopefully naps will come back... I got the morning one back by just putting him in the crib and letting him play one day when I was pooped! I'm as tired as I was when FFM was first born. But it's WAY more fun. I spent my vacation going to bed at 9 every night ;) I'm hanging on to the two naps a day for as LONG as I can...
