Full of Energy!
Leon,
Rising early today at 6:30am, I figured nap time would come easily in the early afternoon. Assuming it would be easy is where I went wrong. You fought your nap with every ounce of strength in your body. We tired reading books, snuggling, and watching a quiet movie, but nothing got you to sleep. Then came more drastic measures as you became defiant. After three short time outs you finally calmed down. I sat you down and said "You are being a naughty boy and making Mommy sad." This made you feel remorseful. I then said "Do you want to be a good boy and listen to Mommy? That would make Mommy happy." You then signed the word "sorry" and gave me a big hug and a kiss. You snuggled up under your blanket in your bed and I sat and sang you a couple lullabyes as you gave into sleep at last. Even though I was frustrated by your sleep fighting and defiant behavior, I was even more proud of you for understanding what you were doing was wrong and appologizing. I love you Leon!
~All my love, your Mama
