Lately I have been getting VERY tickled at my little man. You all know the sleep issues we have had. I've blogged about it 18 million times. Well, perhaps once or twice, but hey, who's counting? So, he's a sleep fighter, right. He hates it. Specifically naps.
Today, I took Nathanial to visit his Mamaw and to go have lunch at Olive Garden. Soup, salad and breadsticks baby! Seeing that Nathanial woke up this morning at 6:30 am, I knew we needed to get a nap in before we went to lunch at 12:00 noon.
He fought it. And he fought it. And Mamaw came to the rescue and entertained him right out of the nap...
So, he doesn't nap and we head out. All the while I'm thinking "This is going to be an interesting lunch."
So we get there and he's not feeling the high chair, so Mamaw, coming to the rescue, puts him on her lap and starts feeding him a breadstick while I get out his squash and corn and pears. Then, our soup comes...
Mom starts cooling down and feeding him sips of the broth from the minestrone. I am assuming that the warmth of the soup and the filling of the baby started him on the route to sleepyland. He starts rocking himself and his eyes start fluttering. It was hilarious. My mom kept saying, well I can just lay him beside of me when he goes to sleep."
Yeah right! I knew he wasn't going to sleep. We were able to feed him out of being fussy, but when we got him in the car, he was out in seconds!
Naps...you can't live with them, you can't live without them when you're a 10-month-old!

I just found your blog and am tickled to death to hear about your Olive Garden trip...mostly because we were only sitting in the next room enjoying our soup too....Maybe as Nathanial gets older he will be a better napper...time will tell. In the mean time, mawmaw's are good at sabatoging your plan eh???? I've come to know that life happens so enjoy the small stuff.
