This is a First

Bennett never falls asleep anywhere besides in his bed or crib. He just keeps on going until you make him get in his bed, no matter how tired he is. It's even hard to get him to nap in the car - most kids love that. Not him.

This morning after breakfast, he got popped on the hand for not closing the cabinet door beneath the sink after I had asked him several times to do so. He got his feelings hurt and laid down in the floor, whining. I just continued to wash dishes, ignoring him.

The house was nice and quiet except for the light classical music we had playing in the living room. I was just finishing up washing the dishes from breakfast, and the kitchen was clean, nice-smelling, and relaxing because of the natural sunlight that was coming in through the door and windows. It was a nice morning.

Once Bennett stopped his whining, I guess he thought it was rather comfortable down there under my feet. He laid there for the longest time, just staring off across the floor. I thought, 'Surely he's not about to fall asleep right there.'

I was wrong.
