parades are exhausting. or not.

Henry has been sucking at taking naps in the afternoon lately.  Wait.  I take that back.  If I lay down with him, he's all about taking a nap.  Who has time to take a nap with their kid every afternoon?  Seriously.  I wish I had that kind of time.  Anyway, he's feeling a little better today, not as snotty and he doesn't have a black eye like I thought he would (that's another story for another post) so I decided we'd get a start on our Christmas shopping this afternoon. 

We went to the mall and I'm pretty sure Henry thought we were a one float parade.  And his stroller was the one float.  He waved at EVERYONE.  It was hysterical and I couldn't stop laughing.  At one point he wasn't waving at anyone, just waving.  I started calling him Miss America and he didn't even care.  Then I realized duh, he's exhausted.  I knew he wasn't going to get any sleep at the mall so I decided to cut the trip short and head home.  He was so tired he fell asleep while I put his coat on him.  It was pathetic and adorable.  He woke up when I put him in the car and stayed awake for the ride home.  I was okay with that because sometimes he falls asleep in the car for 5 minutes and thinks that is a good enough nap.  So we just got home and he was all cuddly and snuggly and I changed his diaper and sang him his lullabies and laid him down in his crib and he's been jumping up and down and singing ever since. 

Seriously. 

Maybe I should go put his coat on him and he'll fall back asleep?
