The Need for Naps

Gordy's nap time has been turning into more and more of a struggle lately, so I thought maybe we could try going without.... Well, this is what we end up with, come dinner time (see photo). Half way through the main course, his eyes get heavy and his little head starts rolling from side to side, and before we know it, we're carrying him to his room, plumb tuckered out. So for now, I've decided giving up Gordy's nap entirely just won't do, not yet anyway. So my new theory is to dangle a "carrot" in front of him (also known as bribery). As of late, he loves to sit on Daddy's lap in the evenings and play a computer game, so that's the incentive for naptime, and today it's working. Because of his nap, he'll be alert enough when Gary gets home to play a game or two on the Sesame Street website with Daddy. Yay! It's a bit of a rarity, but Grayson is simultaneously napping while Gordy sleeps, so I get to enjoy some quiet time too! :) I probably should do some laundry and clean the bathroom, but I've obviously chosen to post here first....
