We are finally almost entirely moved into our new home!(Minus the patio furniture that will be moved tomorrow!) We close on the sale of our old house on Friday and are almost ready! We are loving the extra space and storage(that's my favorite) and Murphy is in hog heaven! Here is the last pic of Murphy at his old house- notice the nice Lightning McQueen tattooed arm and matching socks, both courtesy of "Taw-get".
With all that being said, I think Murphy is enjoying himself a little too much. Today Walker put him down for his nap and when I got home 30 minutes later he was still talking in his bed. I went in and he was in the process of climbing out of the crib. This is usually an impossible task for him when he has on his sleepsack, but, alas, it was on the floor. He somehow got out of it and was headed for a "nap detour". I said, "Did Daddy forget your sleepsack?" He says, "No, I take off cause I shoo-shoo." Okay, I think, valid reason. We clean up and head back for Nap- round 2. He then proceeds to tell me in a very polite, respectful tone, "I not nap today Mommy, I will play,play,play!" (BTW, the last part was sung like the gecko in the Wonderpets) Well, he lost that battle and I put him down- SO I THOUGHT! I hear him reading, talking, etc. for about 30 minutes, but this is normal, so I thought nothing of it and went about my usual naptime activity- multitasking while chatting on the phone. I had just stepped outside to see why both dogs were barking when we live in a neighborhood with only one other house and no dogs when I see a shadow glide by in the window. I told my friend Emily that we either had a tiny ghost or Murphy was on the loose! I came in and yelled, Muuuurphy!" He comes around the corner, "bottomless", and says, "Oh, hi! I going upstaiws to play!" What the heck? "Ok" I said and fell out laughing! So, I guess in the end it was Murphy-1, Mommy-0! (And to top it all off, he had left a trail of pee pee down the hardwood in the hallway on his little "streak"! So I guess this is how it gonna be now! And it's all thanks to this room...
Now who can blame him for not wanting to sleep when you know all of these toys are just sitting above your room waiting to be played with?
And who can blame me for becomming a raisin every night in here? This is one of my favorite parts of the house- those who know me well know I take a bath EVERY night!:)
I guess most moms would give up and say, oh I guess we'll move into a big bed or I guess his nap days are over- but no, not me, I'm going on line to order a bed tent!:)
