"I'll show her!"

That's what Caleb was saying to himself Monday morning as we
drove home from the mall. It was only 11:30, he hadn't eaten lunch,
and with the time change, wasn't due to nap until at least 1:30. I
was on the phone with a friend and noticed him nodding off in the
backseat. I did everything I could to keep him up- rolling down the
windows on a 40 degree day, tickling his feet, etc. to no avail.
So, when he closed those eyes for good, I mentioned to my friend
that he'd only sleep for a few minutes. After all, he always wakes
up as soon as I turn the car off. (Remind me to never say he always!)
After slamming the car door shut, hauling him out of his car seat
and into the house, and even taking his shoes and coat off, he
continued to sleep. So I let him. And, I may have picked him up and
held him in my arms as he slept, just because I miss doing that. ;)
