Well… I got home today to a tired wife and a tired tike.  Anthony just did not want to go to sleep but was so tired at the same time.  I tried my usual Daddy routine of having him on my shoulder and singing to him, that just didn’t work.  Kathy tried feeding him again, but that did not work.  I finally went upstairs in the nice quietness of our bedroom and the rocker/glider.  The room was completely dark and very quiet.  I sat and rocked with him while singing songs softly to him.  This went on for a good twenty minutes when he finally fell asleep.  When I laid down with him on the bed, wouldn’t you know it but our cat Cinder decided to jump up and the bed.  She just wouldn’t take no for an answer!  She kept trying to climb up on Anthony to get to me for attention when I finally picked her up and plunked her off the bed.  Too late, Anthony woke up and it was back to the glider.  Ten minutes and several more choruses of “Rock a bye baby” and “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” later he finally fell asleep.  After giving up on moving to the bed and twenty more minutes later, Kathy came up to take over the sleeping tike.  I love that little guy!

   Update, Kathy passed out along with baby and slept right on through to the night. Guess Kathy needed something more than a nap. Erik and I let her sleep. She slept with the baby from 7 p.m. until 5 a.m. the next morning! Now that’s a power nap! God bless them both!
