Playing Games

It has been raining here for about 2 weeks straight :( And the high hasn't gotten out of the 50's :( We've been stuck inside for too long! I'm wearing 2 sweaters right now and turned the heat up. This weather is not normal for June, even in Seattle!

Since we were stuck inside again today I was playing some games with my 4 year old. When I got up to check my email and asked if I would lay down on the couch and take a nap with him. He got his bear, his blanket, his stuffed whale and a pillow. We cuddled on the couch for about 20 minutes. I started to fall asleep and suddenly he jumped up and told me that nap time was over! No fair! I told him that I was still tired so he tucked me back in with his blanket and his bear and his stuffed whale and his pillow. I fell asleep, but not for long. My 4 year old wanted to play with his hot wheels cars and decided to use me as the race track! So while I was trying to take the nap that he promised, he started pushing cars up and down my back. I think I was tricked. He told me we were going to take a nap just so that I would lay down and he could use me as a race track.

I think the nap sounds like a lovely idea. Oh wait, I'm the mean mom who has the 4 1/2 yo Mister Man nap every day -- and if he doesn't sleep, he still has to spend at least an hour upstairs and quiet. Bummer that he gave up on the nap so soon!

Now that's dirty. I still have tread mark scars. But to be honest I miss the hot wheel stage. I could bribe my kids with a hot wheel. Sigh

Oh Bummer. Love a good snuggly nap with the toddler! Gotta love being "tucked in" though...I'll pray for some warmth to come your way:) Pax, EJT

I love those naps. And did his cars racing up and down your back feel like massages or like the Indy 500?
