Roman has been skipping out on his afternoon nap lately. I knew this day would come…I just didn’t expect it to be so soon. I’m still torn between really working hard to try to coax him into taking a nap (which is honestly just darn near impossible and extremely frustrating) and just giving up and providing him with some things to do in his room for quiet time (which is what I’ve been opting for lately). It’s actually been a bit of a blessing in disguise…him dropping his nap…(once a dear mommy friend reminded me to let go of the expectation)…as he has spent more time playing by himself than he ever has in his life. He’s such an extrovert that entertaining himself is just not on his radar. So quiet time has been good for him.
All of that to say, because I didn’t feel like I had to rush home to get him down for his nap, we ended up heading out to Nashville late this morning to see Aunt Beans at work and walking a few blocks with her to have lunch. It was super fun and just like old times, as Jeanne and I both used to work downtown and tried to eat lunch together every so often. Aw…I miss that and my one-of-a-kind sister! Roman fell in love with a bright green and yellow monkey while he was visiting her office, so she let him take it home…what a sweet aunt…I think she had a hard time resisting those doe eyes he was batting at her…ha!
