Nap time has been a real battle in our house for about the last 9 months. But I think I have finally found something that works. Today, Thomas was told that after he took a good nap, he would get to help me make brownies for our Family Home Evening. He was super excited and ran and laid down. I went in to tuck him in and remind him that he needed to stay in bed. As I was walking out the door, he asked me to Make Brady happy and not let him spit up. When I said I would, he smiled and rolled over to take his nap.
This afternoon ,after Thomas helped me bake the brownies. and after the sugar had time to kick in, we started a name that tune game with me humming songs he knows, and I was surprised at how many he guessed with out any additional help from me. He was stumped on "I hope they call me on a Mission" and I don't think he really knew that song.
This brought up missions. I was talking with him about missions and how to prepare. When I mentioned that he would be gone for 2 years, he stopped squirming looked up at me and said with a very concerned look on his face "You're going to miss me." That brought tears to my eyes. I can't believe how thoughtful this 3 year old is and how perceptive he is of those around him.
