Pretend Play
By Tiffany on 15 June 2006 lunch timeCategory: The Boys
Caleb’s imagination has gone wild the last few months. I am amazed at all of the crazy things he thinks up. Unfortunately most of this pretend play comes at naptime. He has naptime (better known as rest time lately) everyday from 12:30-2:30. However he is only admitting defeat and sleeping about every second or third day now. He is happy the entire time he is in his room, and he has never gotten out of his bed.
I gave up on his nap today at the two-hour mark and went in to release him from his rest to find him sitting in the middle of his bed with a brown blanket tucked in on every side of him. (Side note: Kind of hard to sleep while sitting up). He looked at me and said,” See my nest. I have two eggs about to hatch. I’m keeping them nice and warm.”
This is why he can’t sleep. His imagination is running wild. Is this normal
