This blog is a representation of my bad parenting. A few days ago I was shopping and saw a child (not an infant, a child - as in 3-4 years old) fast asleep in the bottom of a shopping cart. How cruel! Go home and put your little one to bed - she is so tired! You do no need to be looking at curtains this instant! So I go to thinking, "What kind of parent lets their child just fall asleep anywhere? Can't the parent see that clearly the child is tired - and if so, why not go home and place them in their bed?! Their nice comfy bed! And to say the least about a schedule!" So just as I was having these thoughts look what happened - I guess I was asking for a good slap in the face. It's just that Bently, for some unknown reason, slept in until 10:45 so I thought that maybe he wouldn't need a nap. That way we could put him to bed a little early and have him right back on schedule. Seemed like a great plan. So while I was out working in the yard, Dakota gave Bently a snack while he finished hanging sheet-rock in the laundry room. Apparently Bently had begun to whine a little and by the time Dakota went to see what was wrong this is waht he saw. When Dakota called me over to see, I was crushed. Even looking at this picture now I feel horrible. My poor little boy is fast asleep, with his backpack full of toys on, face first, on the cold hard floor.

I laughed so hard. I have about a zillion pictures of my kids where they've fallen asleep in weird places. I think its so cute. and I thought your reasoning for getting him back on schedule was perfect in theory because I've thought that way a million times. Those are the times when they usually end up taking an unexpected nap at 5:00 and then are up till midnight....what can you do. You're awesome!
I don't think you are a bad mother at all!! I just think that's pretty funny! I love it!
You MUST change the title of that post! You are so far from a bad mother - that's actually a perfect sign of what a good mother you are! Bently knew what he needed and was comfortable enough to go for it. And look how cute he is! And it must have been comfy enough because he's out! I love it!
This post must change!!! Isn't Bently ready to get up?
