The Anti-Napper

Here is Cameron at 2 1/2 years old. He fought tooth and nail against nap time that day. Finally, all was quiet in his room. When it seemed safe to peek in, I was horrified to find an empty bed! Then, I spotted him in the corner. It appear that in a final act of resistance, he had emptied several boxes of Kleenex, taken off his pants (an obvious act of defiance when you are 2) and proceeded to fall asleep in the pile of discarded tissues. This was one of those parenting moments where you feel simultaneously angry and amused. At least he's sleeping, I thought. Upon waking, Cameron explained that he had made himself a "nest."
