I just got Nate up from his non-nap.  After a morning full of activity, from playing at the park with friends to meeting Brad for lunch and quick shopping, Nate was exhausted.  About 2 miles from the house, I noticed he was almost asleep in the carseat.  The problem was he needed a diaper change because it had been 3 1/2 hours since his previous one.  I quickly went into full mommy action and began to point out anything in sight and ask him all kinds of random questions.  Anything to keep him awake for 2 more miles and 1 diaper change.  I was relieved to pull into the driveway and see his eyes were heavy but open.  I quickly released him from carseat captivity and took him straight to his room.  His diaper was dry.  Seriously?!?!?  3 1/2 hours and plenty of water later?!?!?!?  Alright, just lie him in his crib and wish him a good nap.  The exhausted, fighting sleep, must be kept awake child never went to sleep.  After all my efforts to ensure a perfect nap after a tiring morning, nothing.  Crazy as it sounds, he’s in a great mood after his non-nap.  I wish I could say the same for myself.  I was really counting on a nap after running around all morning.  Guess he can go to bed a half hour early tonight.  I’m sure he’ll be ready for some sleep by then.  (To top it off his diaper was more than wet by the time I let him get out of his crib.  Go figure!)

I’ve been lacking in the picture department lately.  I’ll see what I can do this afternoon.  We’ll see if he’s gotten over hiding his face from the camera. . .
