A Timely Nap

Just when I'm tired from cleaning up the toilet paper strewn throughout the house,

vacuuming the crackers that have been dumped and jumped on,

telling him to talk with kind words,

asking him to not spit, hit or scratch,

when I'm ready to punch my time card and take a break...

He falls asleep..

..And when he wakes up, we start again!

Sleep long my sweet boy.
