Tobey was trying to be a trickster today. After lunch we always do nap time. I make him go straight from table to his room to get ready for a nap. No playtime whatsoever. It has been this way for a LONG time...probably 6 months.
Today, he finished his meal first and said "play". I told him no, got up, picked him up (while he was kicking and screaming), and told him it was naptime like always, even though I was still eating my lunch. I'd just eat that after he was down. As I am carrying him into his room, he says to me, "eat". Okay, so I'm thinking he is telling me he is still hungry, so I take him back to the table and put his food in front of him. He pushes it away and points to my food and says "mommy eat." Then he says "play" as he attempts to get down from his chair. So that little trickster thought that he could play since I wasn't done with my lunch. Maybe the new rule should be he goes done for a nap after his lunch, not after lunchtime.
