no nap

We made it through the night last night. Jesse woke OFTEN but eventually slept a few hours between waking. I spent the night laying on the floor, periodically having my finger clamped by his warm little fist. It is actually quite adorable...just not at 2 am. Jesse ended up sleeping until after 8, which is unheard of. So, the little stinker decided not to nap this afternoon. I'm not sure if it was the late start, our fun morning playing at Heather's watching the dogs and guinea pigs and finding all the brooms in the house, or knowing that it was just way more fun being up in the afternoon. Whatever it was, I was preparing for a very sleepy boy around suppertime. But, true to his nature, Jesse was stellar all afternoon. I dropped by the doctor after school and he didn't peep during the exam. (The doctor figures it is just a virus and he should be better in a day or two). He was happy pushing his goldfish around with his truck. He actually started eating again this afternoon. He wasn't even acting tired when I decided it was an early bedtime. Gotta love my sweet natured boy!
And this is a picture of what Nathaniel was up to when I was attempting to put Jesse to sleep this afternoon. The boy really doesn't need toys...he just finds his dad's belts and builds himself a crane...or that's what he calls it.
