Alex's new way to get me to come get him in the morning...Mama, I all done sleepin'! Usually in a sing-song voice, sometimes in a crabby groggy voice. Either way it is ten zillion times better than the Maaaaamaaaaa that he used to employ.
Saturday, the "I all done sleepin'" wasn't quite as cute since he was repeating it over and over and over shortly after I laid him down for his nap. We had read a couple books and when I went to put him in his crib, he asked if he could take a book with him to bed since he was certain he wasn't sleepy. So Alex, his three blankets of choice, and Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See all snuggled in.
He laid in there and "read" his book to himself a couple times and then started singing loudly that he was all done sleeping. I wholeheartedly disagreed and refused to go back in his room. After I didn't come in to get him, he started calling out "Ooooh Toooooodles!" Toodles would be the little Mouskatool holder thingymabobber from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Any time Mickey and the gang have a problem, they all call out "Oh Toodles!" and this little guy comes flyin' in with 4 different Mouskatools from which to choose. And one of those tools will help solve the problem. Apparently upon the realization that his mom wasn't going to be of any assistance, Alex quickly moved on to other resources.
After Toodles didn't show up, he started loudly singing that he was awake. I finally just gave up and went in to get him. And when I opened the door he was sitting there with a huge smile, crossed legged in the middle of his crib, with his socks on his hands.
And then, about an hour later, the kid that wasn't sleepy at all and was awake and didn't want to lay down because he was in no way, shape or form tired..? Yeah, that kid? He fell asleep in under three minutes when we got in the car to go to Target. Of course he did.
