We implemented something we call ‘Couch-Time’ with Pierson about 5 months ago.  We have him sit on the couch and independently read his books.

It’s fabulous!  He really enjoys the time, and it gives us some time to catch up with house work, read, take pictures of him (ha!), etc.

The length has increased to where he will actively look through his books for around 30 minutes.  Sometimes, even more.

This one is my hands down favorite.  I think he was panting like the dogs in his book.

Then I turned to snap pictures of #2.  This is the face he makes while producing his newly discovered, high-pitched squeal.

And if you’re super observant; yes, my clock wall was out of sync.  Why is it that it takes far too long to accomplish the ‘to-do’ items that take less than one minute to complete?  What easy task are you avoiding from your to-do list? I’m happy to report the top 2 clocks now have batteries.  Happy Tuesday!

Little One, this is a special news announcement from your mother.

It’s okay to sleep at naptime.

It’s not as big of a deal as you are making it to be.

Sleep is a good thing.

Sleep is your friend.

You should get to know each other.

Hopefully I can introduce you soon.  It seems every time I try to get you two together, something comes up.

Until then, know that I love you–even if you and  my BFF are at odds.
