This morning Tyler, AJ and I were hanging around the house waiting for some people to come over. Just before 10am I started feeding AJ and Tyler was playing around me and going in and out to the backyard. He brought in a ball covered with dirt and I asked him to take it outside. He said no. I told him I didn’t want it inside because it was going to get everything dirty. He said no. Instead of asking again, I told him in a pretty stern voice to take the ball outside (keep in mind that I am in a chair with AJ attached so I am not the most mobile). Tyler turned his body away from me took dirt off the ball and threw it on the ground to which I gasped and said “TYLER!” At that he turned back toward me, dropped the ball got an “I’m about to cry” look on his face and turned and walked down the hall.
So I finished feeding AJ, changed his diaper and realized Tyler hadn’t come back and it was very quiet. I went down towards the bedrooms to look for him. He wasn’t in the workout room or the toy room. He wasn’t playing at all. He had crawled up in his bed, put a pacifier in his mouth, pulled up a blanket, and fell asleep.
So his nap today was from about 10:15 to 12.
I guess that is an added benefit to his big boy bed.
