Fun in the sun

Yesterday we had a really active day. In the morning, we went to the Central Library, and after that we went to Lake Kitamakuwundi that's right next door. Amedeo really enjoyed the gigantic fountain. I fed him a little snack and hoped that once I got him home he'd sleep for hours and hours. WRONG! He slept for an HOUR. For $*&! sake! All week I've been trying to get him to take a nice long midday nap instead of two short ones. He is resisting. I'm gonna die if he doesn't start sleeping more. Really.

Here we are in the afternoon at the scrap tire playground. He had a great time and then proceeded to take NO afternoon nap. Yesterday, I think he went to bed at 8pm and slept 'til 5am (we only go in at 6am, so he cries or does whatever.) = 9hrs +1 hr nap = 10 hours of sleep total. This is not enough. The books say it isn't enough. I say it isn't enough. Sleep, dammit!


Today, we went to Walmart in the morning, after which we took an HOUR nap. The ONLY nap of the day. I'm getting tired of this. I ate lunch, Amedeo played with his food and threw it on the floor. I drove over to Breezy Willow Farm for my CSA vegetables. We came back and decided to play in the pool to escape the heat. He LOVES the water. I LOVE sleeping. Maybe I should get him a waterbed. Sigh.



I really want to strangle him sometimes when he doesn't sleep and he doesn't eat. It's a good thing that he's cute.
And it's a good thing that there is tequilla.

I'm sure that's why babies are so cute. Because they're so bad. It must be. It's kind of a built in defense mechanism.

I don't want you to die, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for MORE SLEEP!!!
