le Resistance

When Mather decides to resist taking a nap, it's not unusual for her to toss something out of her crib -- usually either a binky, her sleepy bear, or one of her myriad stuffed animal "friends". She'll then usually shout and holler for us to get it for her. When we come in, she then demands to get up from her crib.

Today at naptime Mather upped her usual ante. Once we were finally convinced that she wasn't going to fall asleep and entered her room, we discovered that not only had she tossed out her binky, she had also tossed her sleepy bear. And all of her "friends". And her pajamas, which she had taken off. And the sheet off her mattress.

All that was left in the crib was 1) Mather and 2) her diaper (still on her). If we had waited any longer, she probably wouldn't have had that, either.

She doesn't climb out of her crib? Gabriel started climbing out at 1 1/2.

She hasn't yet figured out that she can.

cora tosses her sleepy bear out also, but doesn't know how to request it back yet, so it remains on the floor. i also have the sneaking suspicion that she'll figure out how to get herself out of there.

Since finding Allah, Cora has yet to toss anything out of the crib. I'm just sayin'.

Oh my goodness! This is great. I laughed out loud for a good 3 seconds...that's a lot for me these days with my sleep-deprivation. We FEEL YOUR NAP PAIN!
Mather is hilarious!

Where WAS Allah when Cora found him? Conversely, since finding Allah, where is in the crib, where out?
