Bed Time Troubles

This is what I listened for at least a good half hour before my little angel decided he was ready to lay down quietly. The time it takes him to fall victim to the evil sleep monster seems to be increasing every time he is put to bed. He has regular nap times and bed times so there shouldn’t be a problem. It seems like he knows he is almost two years old and he decided he is now too old for silly things like quiet time and sleep. This morning’s nap didn’t happen until after noon time, and not for lack of trying on my part. I put him down to nap three times this morning starting at his normal 9:30 time (he is up super early in the morning). I listened from the next room as he did baby yoga, gymnastics, delivered several speeches to riotous crowds, and kicked, hit and threw everything within his reach. Then it was time for lunch and a diaper change. An hour later I try his morning nap in the afternoon and he laid down and went to sleep in ten minutes. Most days he would rather nap in the morning. I think pretty soon I will need to teach him to tell time and see if that helps. The best part: he let me know he was awake by fake snoring as loud as he could!
