Griff's new favorite thing...topless Jeep rides. We had a lot of them last weekend and Griff was enamored. He even fell asleep in the Jeep, with no top, the wind blowing in his hair and the radio actually pretty loud. We knew that it would be all he'd get for a nap that day (more on this below), so we invented other errands to run and tried our hardest to find shade at 12 pm for us to sit in while Ben ran into places. We're even learning that we can use a Jeep ride as a bribe! :) And, it does help get out of the house faster when we need to go places if we tell G we are going in the JEEP.
And now to sleep, or the lack thereof. To say naptimes and bedtimes have been challenging lately is quite understating the issue. Our little man is taking 1 - 1.5 hours just to GET to sleep at any given time, and even then, it may be on the floor or in an odd position or naked or with several pairs of shorts/jeans that he's pulled out of his drawer and tried to put on...you get the drift. He is a master of destruction and will stop at nothing to keep himself awake - even resorting to pulling the HVAC vent out of the floor to inspect it (and hopefully I caught him before he was able to throw things down). The adjustment to the big boy bed wasn't difficult, and we thought the adjustment to his new room went off without a hitch too...but perhaps not. We're simply hoping this doesn't last long...as, believe me, we were recently gifted the eloquent "children's book" entitled "Go the F*** to Sleep"...and let's just say it memorializes a lot of my feelings in the daily effort to get Griff to a peaceful sleep. Please let this phase pass... :) And preferably before next Friday (or sooner) when we are scheduled to welcome his baby brother into this world!
Driving daddy's Jeep and loving it
