Caden had a rough morning. Well, he made it rough for all of us. The girls kept asking,"Why is Caden crying?" Because, really Caden isn't the crying type of child. Chad was on-call from yesterday at 8 AM to 8 AM this morning and was called out twice, the second time was around 3 AM. So, Chad got home around 7 AM this morning after being called out and woke Caden up. Free advice: Don't wake children up, let them wake themselves (at this age anyway).
First it was Caden's shirt, he was laying on the floor all floppy doll saying it was too hard (and he hadn't even tried one button), he was just flopping on the floor sighing and crying. Then I was helping with his belt and he was crying, standing there - he was acting like I'd asked him to do Algebra. I asked why he was crying and he started crying harder and said,"I don't KNOW!" Lol! I started laughing and that made him cry even more, so I told him he was going to take a nap! He was wailing in his room, for almost an hour.
I knew he was tired. Caden isn't like this unless he is so past tired, that there is no reasoning with him. So I did the one thing that always seems to work for Caden...I read. When I need Caden to nap...I read out loud from a book I'm reading. I told him to lay on my bed and I started reading out loud...BAM, one minute in and he was out. Being 5 is SO rough ;)
