A Fun Day.

This little guy is just one of the many precious nephews I have. I got to go play with him today while his mommy went on a business lunch. I knew I'd get at least 2 hours with him and hoped for more. So off I go; a little early so as to acclimate him to my presence! He's got a little brother coming in October, but is thus far the only one getting his parent's attention. You know what that means! He's not too sure about being away from them for any length of time. So I get to sit down and watch a kid's DVD called "Boz" and mommy slips away quietly. He REALLY likes Boz! About 11:30 I get his lunch ready and once Boz says good-bye, we head to the kitchen. He LOVES to dip things.......pretzels in yogurt, fries in ketchup, anything in ketchup, even his fruit in ketchup.........if you can't get him to eat it, just dip it and he'll go for it! His mother had told me that he may lay down 12:30 or 1ish........but had been taking later naps the past few days. She's supposed to be home around 1, so I figure I have another hour of play time after lunch........but no, guess what the cutie did? As soon as lunch was over I realized we needed to change his diaper. Well, he wasn't into that, but we managed and then he starts pointing at a blanket and getting fussy! I finally asked if he wanted to lay down, take a nap? and he said yes! He even helped me turn his little noise maker on, took the blanket and when I lifted him to the crib, he lay down. Can you believe that? Little stinker went right to sleep and didn't wake up until after mommy got home. So, an hour alone........but I stayed until he woke up and got to play with him a little longer. What are these kids coming to? Taking a nap without a fight? Un-heard of.................:) Guess I'll have to come up with another plan to spend more time with him.......maybe send mommy and daddy on a date-nite! Oh, by the way, not one tear I'll have you know.................
