Today Ethan didn't take his nap. It's amazing and frightening really how once you become a parent your entire world revolves around successful naps.
Today was not successful. So now it's six fifteen (a horrible time for toddlers, even when they do have a good nap) and Ethan's eyes are bloodshot and every whimper from his mouth is a long, drown-out whine.
I am about to go insane.
Presently he is playing with our juicer, watching it go round and round in slow motion--like he's in a quiet trance. Maybe it is putting him in a trance. That would be nice.
Joey is still at school. I came home over an hour ago and am still wearing my coat because it's freezing in our house and I am just like this. Its from my dad, a hundred percent. Cold? Put on a coat. Are you inside? Doesn't matter. Double your socks. Wear a fleece hat. What ever you do, don't touch the thermostat.
Five minutes later...
Ethan told me (whined to me) that he wanted eggs. I made him scrambled eggs.
"Ethan, I made you your eggs. Come eat your eggs."
He runs out of the kitchen. "No."
I hate no nap days.
The feeling, at least, of understanding what is going on.

sweet little Ethan? No way Danae! He couldn't possibly have said no to you! Missunderstanding? Probably! :)
Yeah, today I was told no, hit with a pencil, sent a kid to the principal's office 3 times...o you read that right 3 times, and listened to tantrums for what seemed like the entire afternoon ...my point: I hate no nap days too...o wait I'm the one who took away the naps...what the heck was I thinking!
I'm not the only one! Actually today was a good nap day for Andrew. He slept this morning and this afternoon (Daelynn babysat and she always seems to get him to nap well - probably because she plays with him the WHOLE time! He loves it!)
