Today I was upset, I was annoyed, almost angry...
It was way past nap time and little #tumtum still jumping on my lap and resisting sleep... Some days this is just the ultimate drama feeling on my stay at home mama life! Nap time is the time when I work uninterrupted, or stretch for 20 min yoga, or... have a nap myself, or manage a 15min meditation or... Have a cup of coffee by myself...
No, no, no! I need it! It's not negotiable! It's sacred Nap time!!!
- love, let's go to sleep, it's nap time, please.
- mama... It's ok... Come here, look outside (goes to the window) look outside, it's morning, sun woke up so early (always says this!), it's not dark! It's morning. Let's play.
- no, I am not going to play. Come, lye down and close your eyes! I am getting upset now!
- mama - smoothest voice ever - I want to give you "beijinho"; come and play with me, you will feel better.
- no, no (I don't want to feel better! Mama going tantrum...) we go to sleep NOW.
- why not? Mama why not? we play, let's be friends. You want to go outside? (holds my face between his hands and looks straight into my eyes, his kinda grey/ kinda green/ kinda hazel brown eyes... Hypnotic) we can go outside to feel better. Come.
I did. He was right. Felt better.
