Mom, I AM NOT tired.

Today when I picked Matthew up from school, he was not very nice in the car. I explained to him that when we got home he was going to take a nap. He insisted to me that "HE WAS NOT TIRED". I opted not to argue with him. When we arrived home, he asked me for his favorite lunch - a peanut butter and jelly roll up. While he was eating his lunch, I decided to put away some stuff upstairs. It became very quiet downstairs and at this point, I decided that I should check on him. This is what I found....

He fell asleep cuddling napkins on the kitchen table. As you can see, his roll up is half eaten and no longer on his plate. We are at that very hard, in-between stage with him these days. If he doesn't take a nap he is unbearable, and if he does take a nap he stays up too late at night and the cycle starts over again the next day. This too shall pass.
