A friend of mine (who happens to have four children) commented lately that she wished kids would tell you how long they were going to nap, when they went down. Thirty minutes? Good, put up your feet and read a book. Three hours? Start a major project.
To that I would add, that I wish when the baby went down at 4pm today, he'd told me whether he was going down for the night or not. He has a pretty reliable 7pm bedtime, but it's 7:30pm now and he's still asleep. Is this it, or do I have an hour and a half of misery before me this evening? He normally wakes up at 5am; so if he sleeps through the evening, is he going to think it's morning at 2am? The possibilities are mind boggling.
Perhaps he heard the rumour that a new baby toothbrush arrived in the house today, to brush the two tiny pearly whites that popped out of his gums last week. I would believe that kids would go to these lengths to avoid getting their teeth brushed.
