Autumn Leaves

We have had great fun in the last few weeks taking advantage of the fall weather. All the leaves seemed to fall off the trees at once, but we still had a little burst of sunshine and warmth, so we taught Conor the joy of playing in the leaves. He wasn't sure at first, but after he figured it out, he wanted to play out there every day...and night. We got some great pictures of him!

Our biggest struggle these days seems to be getting him to take a nap on the 3 days a week he stays home (Fri, Sat, Sun). He will sleep at daycare most of the time...and we do all we can to wear him out in the mornings at home, but he has figured out that if he keeps talking or singing and moving (even though he will usually stay in bed, he will roll around and kick the wall), he can prevent himself from falling asleep. We try rocking him, sleeping with him, leaving him alone, sticking to a routine and a schedule, but this is still a work in progress. Any ideas would be great appreciated!!

If he doesn't get a nap, he doesn't always even fall asleep early. Then in the mornings, he gets tired and crabby like this. And on this particular day, apparently cold...he wanted to have his hat on for breakfast!! Don't ask me :)

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!! Can you believe it's already here??
