I visited another thrift shop this week. They had a sale on kid’s clothes and I got a few things. It is amazing how many of the thrift shop items (for boys, at least) are Winnie-the-Pooh related! I got Paul’s chair a few weeks ago and now I got some jeans and a Winnie-the-Pooh outfit. If only it were Halloween, Paul would be all set!
I’d never buy an outfit like this off the store rack, but at a thrift shop for less than $1? Sure. I think he is adorable, although this outfit makes him look more like a baby. Lately, he’s been looking a lot like a little boy, so I’m OK with that reversal!
Paul loves to play in the closets in his room; that’s what he’s doing in those pictures above.
In other news, Paul is phasing out his nap. His only nap. A few days in the last few weeks he hasn’t napped at all when I put him in his bed; other days he sleeps just one hour before awaking. But then he sleeps for more than two hours Sunday afternoon, so maybe he’s not completely done with the napping.
I am in mourning! What will I do without that precious two-hour break in the middle of the day?
I suppose Paul is too young for the logic I used when YOU gave up naps. I would put on a video of Mary Poppins or Pete’s Dragon, and you would lie down on the floor in front of it and zone out. The deal was usually that if I FORGOT you were awake, you would not have to take a nap. If I remembered (that is if you bothered me) then I’d put you in bed. You seldom bothered me, and often fell asleep watching such a familiar movie. Of course, we still have them both memorized.
Mom, yeah still a bit too young, but it looks like he’s keeping it up most days of the week! Safe!
