No Nap Owen

Normally no nap Owen usually equals disaster, but today was a pleasant surprise! For some reason the kid would not nap. I tried playing his aquarium, rocking, nursing, putting him in the crib, nothing would get him to sleep. Since he wasn't crabby, I decided to just let him play. We played all day and had so much fun! I wish everyday could be like today. I love watching him! He played with his books, his balls, Bailey, his Little People, Jake, his truck, his sippy cups, his spoons, the doors, etc. Anything was entertaining to him.

We went to Walmart to pick up our Christmas cards; happy, smiling Owen. Babysitting; happy as well. He was cracking himself up at the Mullen's. He'd lie down on the floor and just laugh for no apparent reason. Then he'd get up, move to another spot, and do it again. I could listen to his giggles and laughs all day.

Needless to say, this happiness had to come to an end at some point. Unfortunately, Mike had to be the one to deal with it. I was going to a wine tasting with Mandy, so Mike and Owen were home together for the night. Owen did not like seeing his mommy leave, and he turned into a very unhappy little boy. Mike said he calmed down relatively quickly and the rest of the evening went smoothly though. Hopefully he sleeps through the night and maybe even past 7:00 am. Wishful thinking :)
