Naptime Sucks Sometimes

In general we don't have too many problems getting boo boo to bed. She'll lay there and sing along with Tad, tell herself stories, or repeat various lines from cartoons she's watched. After a while she'll fall asleep. But sometimes we just have "one of those days." One where Mommy & Daddy put her to bed immediately after lunch and she will.not.go.to.sleep. It can be so frackin frustrating.

At one point Evan had already taken a two hour nap and was ready to go. Of course she howled because I wouldn't let her out of her room. She was crabby and I knew she needed some sleep, especially since she had gone to bed late the previous night. So I let the t.v. baby sit Evan so I could try and coax her to sleep. I made a make shift bed on the floor and laid down with her, not something I'd generally do. After ten or fifteen minutes, she wouldn't quit jacking around so I huffed and told her she had to get back in bed and sleep.

Of course the second she sees me going for the door she bolts out of bed. I close the door just in time for her to start banging a wailing about being awake and needing out of her room. I'm such a mean Mommy aren't I? Around ten minutes go by and finally...silence. I, of course, am curious as to what she's up to. I slowly open the door and found this...

She had pulled her comforter and pillow back to the floor; as well collecting several animals and blankets that you can't see in the pictures. I don't know what made her do it, but this is how she finally took her nap. Whatever it takes I suppose.

By the way...I'm still having issues trying to take pictures in her dark room.
