Sometimes it is just worth it....

We drive Beaner to school everyday just before noon, and everyday J Man falls asleep on the way or the way home. We try everything to keep him awake till we get home, so he can take his real nap in his bed. We roll the windows down, grab his feet, sing songs, turn music up and even yesterday I resorted to giving him a full package of baby wipes so he could take them out one by one, all in the name of keeping a normal naptime! Well, the other day, all our efforts failed and he fell asleep, really asleep and when we got home he was happy that he was done his nap. We tried for more than an hour to get him to go back to sleep in his bed but again, failure. So, around 5 pm he was cuddling with Dada, and couldn't fight it anymore......

This is how he started, just slumped over on his Dada...

Then, it got contagious.....

And then others wanted a turn...

That night going to bed was a bit of a challenge..... guess who wasn't tired?? Well, looking at these pictures, and knowing how a sleeping child feels on you, his chest rising and falling and his warm breath on your neck.... sometimes it is just worth it!
