Naptime for Matthew

Matthew has hit the stage where he does not want to stay in his crib for naptime, but still desperately needs a nap. This has forced some creativity on Audrey's part to keep him in bed (a story for another day.)

A couple of days ago Audrey put Matthew down for a nap at my house. I have a full size crib in one of the bedrooms downstairs, and that's where he was put to bed. A few minutes after he was put to bed I walked by and heard music playing. I thought Audrey had a new idea for a way to keep him in bed. A few minutes after that Audrey walked by the door and heard music and she wondered, "what is going on?" So she opened the door. Matthew had gotten out of his crib, and gone over to the big bed. He then turned on the radio portion of the clock radio that is next to the bed. When Audrey went in, Matthew was up on the big bed in the midst of all the pillows, dancing to the music, having a grand old time. Busted. Audrey whisked him off to the crib, and boy, was he mad.

About 20 minutes later she walked by - more music. She opened the door, and this time Matthew was completely under the covers on the big bed, sound asleep. She turned off the radio, and closed the door. He slept another two hours.
