My little guy has never been much of a sleeper. He didn't sleep through the night until he was two. Here's one of my favorite photo sessions from when he was about seven months old. He was supposed to be taking a nap, but would not go to sleep. He was so cute, I had to take pictures.
Now, he's almost four and still fights sleep every night. It's not a mean fight, it's pretty entertaining most nights actually.Last night, as most nights, he got really chatty when I turned the lights out. Here's just some of our conversation
"Mommie?"
"Yes?"
"Mommie, I like valentines, they are so pretty."
"Me too sweetie, now go to sleep."
"Mommie, I like you hair. It's so soft."
Then he says the thing every mommie wants to hear...
"Mommie, you're the bestest mommie ever, you know?"
How does a three (almost four) year old come up with that?
All to fight sleep.
What a sweetie!!
ReplyDeleteAww...pulled a little heart string of mine...very sneaky little one!
ReplyDeleteThat just makes my heart melt.
ReplyDeleteHe is adorable, great pictures! Thanks for commenting on my blog, hope you have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI can so relate to this posting! My almost four year old was 18 months old before he slept through the night and still fights it. We have similar dialogue to yours each night and it amazes me how he can come up with some emergency that wasn't important 20 minutes ago but now is earth-shattering...all to avoid sleep.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know I am not the only one :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a total little charmer...Going to have to watch him once he's old enough for girlfriends....
ReplyDeleteMine is not a sleeper either...he'll be 5 next month. Just wait, the excuses and the compliments get even more creative!
