No nap today
Brandon didn’t take any nap at all today and he didn’t even get grouchy or tired by the evening time either. It is now 830pm and he is still rolling on his bed. His regular bedtime is around 9pm and I would have thought that he might sleep earlier than that but nope. He isn’t much tired, eyes still pretty big. Just rolling rolling on his bed.
He had a long day. He woke up at 710am this morning. Watched some TV after his milk and then we went to Target at 9am. We let him walked around by himself a little bit while we’re there and sometimes he sat inside the shopping cart. By 10am, Hubby and him went to the mall to walk around while I was at my office putting together some paperwork. They came back to pick me up at 11am and we went to lunch at a Chinese Restaurant in Torrace. Brandon ate quite a bit as he really likes rice and the dishes.
After lunch, we stopped at Sam’s club to get milk and then we headed back home. He was about to fall asleep in the car but I kept him awake by talking to him. The ride back home is not long enough and I didn’t want him to nap for 10 mins and wake him up when we got home. I wanted him to nap at home. It was 12:30pm when we stepped inside the house. At around 1pm, I warmed some milk for him.
My ex-landlord called and told me he was in the area and if he could stop by a little bit for a short visit. He arrived at 1:30pm. We chatted a bit. Brandon was inside the whole time while Alan was cleaning our bathroom. At 2pm, Brandon came out to play with Anthony. He sang to him and even ran around my kitchen while singing. Then when Anthony left, he was drinking his milk on his bed. I thought he would go straight to dreamland while drinking the milk but nope. He stayed up. Although he didn’t sleep, but he spent almost an hour by himself inside his bedroom … with me.
It was 3:30pm and he was still awake. I called the ILs to come over for visit. They stayed for 30 mins and then left. I was busy making dinner by then. We had our dinner around 5:10pm. Usually if he didn’t take his afternoon nap, while eating the dinner, he would be very tired and sleepy. Not this time though.
By 6:30pm, he wanted me to play ball with him. He was laughing and running around again. By 7pm, I gave him a bath. He looked kinda tired while taking the bath and again I thought when we take him out, he will be sleeping already. But that didn’t happen either. He got changed into his PJ and Alan was playing with him.
I called my aunt to chit chat with her on the phone. 7 minutes into our conversation, Alan came to me saying Brandon was ‘fishing‘ (falling asleep while sitting) but he didn’t let him carry him to bed. So I ended my phone chat and went inside. I saw Brandon with big eyes asking to watch some TV inside the room. I went to take my shower and came out, he was still sitting there very alert to me. Gave him his milk around 8pm, half an hour earlier than usual time but he didn’t sleep after his milk either. Wah … this boy had so much energy today.
By the time I finished typing the paragraph above, I went inside to check … finally he is asleep. It is 8:39pm now.
