kids

sometimes i dont understand my kid.

at 2pm everyday its Quiet Time, when he has to go in his room and either Play Quietly (no musical toys, no jumping, no banging on the walls, etc etc) or have a nap. if hes tired, he'll put himself into bed and go to sleep. if hes not, he'll Play Noisily, and try to sneak out of his room, seeing how long it takes me to notice.

BUT.

if he needs to go to the toilet, he will stand at his door and cry. he WILL NOT leave the room unless i tell him to, and as a result, there have been Accidents.

i just dont understand.




and then he goes and does something super cute like get changed into his swimming costume to have a nap, which i dont discover until i go to wake him up, and my heart melts and none of it matters anyway.
