missing my MUTE button

We must be in the throes of a growth spurt. He has been eating constantly and requires more sleep than he's been getting. We reintroduced the afternoon nap yesterday. And he took one today as well (as did I). Tuesday I took a nap but he didn't--I told him I needed one and he told me "go ahead and take one! I know where the snacks are!". I was exhausted enough to do so, and I'm glad he was tired enough to stay nearby while I did. Yesterday and today we napped together. Though we napped today (while it rained outside--BLISS!), he was still monumentally tired tonight. He chattered nonstop since he finished Taekwondo. Our drive home from the gym after my shift was an exercise in patience. It sounded like I was trapped in a moving vehicle with a psychotic mogwai. He wasn't even saying words. He was, as he said, "practicing my 'HELP' screams in case I ever need rescuing."

I am putting my tired ears to bed now.
