Tantrum

Lately my son has been even more of a stinker than usual. In particular, he's refusing to sleep in any sort of predictable or rational manner. He won't take naps, or if he does he takes them at odd times, and he's refusing to go to sleep for the night any earlier than 11:30. Now, the other night Ty and I decided that we just didn't want to stay up any later even though Leo wasn't ready to go to bed. So we put him in his crib awake and got into bed. He, of course, started screaming and we let him for a while. Then we brought him into bed with us, left the lights off and ignored him. He just kept on screaming. In fact, he screamed so long and hard that he couldn't even remember why he was screaming and he became absolutely inconsolable, even once we were actually trying to make him happy. So what did we do? We threw a full glass of really cold water right into his screaming face. He proceeded to choke (nearly to death) on it, and then he calmed down and went to sleep. What a maniac! It's a good thing he's cute.
