Sleep is not over-rated...

This Hilarious child of mine...below sporting his sisters getto sunglasses her bio father's girlfriend got her trying to make my daughter into what I think is innapropriate...that's a whole other post people! So our son is "Cool" and is secure with his one year old mascalinity that he can pull of fuzzy pink slippers and pink jewel rimmed glasses and my 4inch heels no problem...he is an amazing kid with such a mellow personality just like his favorite cousin Jordan. I am very lucky...
...UNTIL days like today, when my child has been off of his sleep schedule for over a week. I am a firm beleiver in SLEEP. Children need it for their happiness and I need it for my sanity. It's not his fault he is off schedule, I have even tried to spend the day at my parents at nap time...but he needs his own crib without the excitement of hanging out with Grandpa! So, we are working on day 8 of little to no nap...yesterday went better for him, but he woke up SCREAMing from the top of his lungs..today I got him to sleep at the normal naptime and we will see if he gets woken up again or if it is a success!!! Hopeing and praying.

So, what happens when he doesn't get enough sleep? He is as bad as me on a PMS day with mood swings and crying fits over not getting a lolipop. He is attached to my leg begging "UP" and doesn't eat or play well. It also prohibits me from my daily routine. I need that nap time for projects and to clean the house...so my house has suffered, it's still in one peice, but without mopped floors. And that annoys me cause I cannot stand for my house to get like this, it's too small and it just takes one random pile for the walls to start coming in on me.

Bradley will survive missing a few naps! So, this is not really a compaint from me, more of a quik unload of a possible rant that I am getting through one day at a time, cause it's not upsetting me, I just wish Bradley could be normal again...
