Sleep

OK Calvin, this is called 6:00 P.M. See, it is still bright outside.  We do not want to sleep right now.  Stay awake baby, stay awake PLEASE!  If you fall asleep now then you will be awake at what we call 3:00 A.M when it is dark.  No really, STAY AWAKE!  How about if I vacuum... no, how about if I mow the lawn... still no, band practice with the drums and guitars... still no huh!  How about if I tickle your sides... How can you sleep even though you are wiggling around?

Calvin, this is what we call 3:00 A.M.  Remember me telling you about this?  I didn't really mean for you to experience it first hand so wide awake.  Yes, normally we don't have to be so noisy at this time!  I understand, believe me I do, I am not happy to be awake at this time too, but we can remedy that... no huh?  I thought you were still too young to think that your parents are wrong about things.

Yep, this is perfect, 9:00 A.M. and NOW you choose to sleep.  Let me just sleep too... or take a quick shower and go to work... yep, the latter.

Is it ok to sometimes want to trade your new born baby in for a perfect night of sleep?  Do you think that it is ok to sometimes love taking a nap a little more than you do your child?  I do!

Now for that long lost friend I use to know called rest, I will miss you and hope to see you soon!
