Guess who stayed on his KinderMat and closed his eyes for over a half hour today during Afternoon Care at school!!! I'm so proud of Dennis. This was his best effort yet. He says he even slept some. And I got lots of classroom prep done. Being a preschool teacher apparently means cutting out LOTS of things! I prefer this to handing out scissors to 2 year olds. They'll get their cutting practice at the end of this school year and in the next two years!
Tonight after his bath, Dennis appeared in our bed, dressed in his pajamas and ready to sleep. He snuggled in under the covers and his Daddy told him he wasn't going to sleep with us. He replied (with a heavy sigh) "I KNOW, Dad." I think there might have even been some eye rolling. He wiggled around a bit. David said "so stop wallowing in our bed!". Dennis replied, "but I'm full of wallowing-ness tonight!". It wasn't long before he took his wallowing to his own bed. He fell asleep nearly immediately! These are long days we're having. Today was school then Afternoon Care followed by an hour at the gym in the child care room (so I could get in my run) followed by supper at church and then AWANA and playground time. And still we had to drag him away crying. He was mollified when I told him we were returning to the building in just 12 hours. I'm glad he loves the church! Tomorrow marks another marathon day for us (school, afternoon care, gym child care because I am working there tomorrow, Taekwondo...) before our weekend begins. It's busy, sure, but it's a GOOD busy. So fulfilling for all of us!
