a little restraint

Duct tape might have made my day easier. Dennis was wiggly and super chatty today. And he's trying his hand at naughtiness, not a particular line of experimentation that makes me happy. I've been pinched, kicked, and elbowed a good bit lately. He told me he was pretending he was a robot that had knives hidden in his elbows. I believe him. And I'm officially reintroducing the daily nap. He still needs it. It's been random lately, but it's very evident that it is a necessary break, at least until school's out. I suppose when it gets to late summer, we'll abolish the nap and introduce an early bedtime (I don't think they nap in kindergarten). I'm sure he'll just love that.
