Mommy: When we get home, buddy, it is nap time.
Eli: I not deepy, Mommy. (Eli-ese for "I'm not sleepy.") I wake!
Mommy: Well, we're going to go nigh-nigh when we get home.
Eli: nope
Mommy: yes
Eli: no
Mommy: You can keep saying no, but I will keep saying yes.
Eli: No nigh-nigh. (BIG yawn....BIG pause....) I tired, Mommy.
Mommy: Oh really? (to myself...) I had no idea.
I guess my preparation for the nap paid off. He went upstairs without a fight and climbed in bed (only after I lifted him in, but he climbed out and wanted to get in all by himself. "I do it.") I went up to check on him and this is how I found the little guy. Don't you just love to find them asleep with books? He likes to read his favorites until sleep overtakes him. A boy after his Mommy's heart. Many nights, Matt has to nudge me and tell me to put my book down and turn off the light. :)
