Here is Jason's procedure for taking a nap:
1. Allow Mommy to serve me a nutritious lunch and a small dessert
2. Eat the dessert
3. Spend about 20 minutes artistically rearranging my nutritious lunch on my place, then shove most of it into my mouth in about 5 minutes because Mommy says I can't get down until I'm done.
4. Pick out two stories to read.
5. Change my mind; pick out different stories to read.
6. Get upset when Mommy gets to the last page of the book because I really didn't want that story, I wanted a different one.
7. Lay on my bed with the blanket over my legs. Stick my legs straight up into the air.
8. Hold a sippy cup of water in my mouth with one hand, while stroking Mommy's face with the other hand.
9. Allow Mommy to lay down next on the floor next to me.
10. Wait til Mommy falls asleep, then sing a little song about the DVD I've watched most recently and keep time by banging my feet against the wall.
11. When Mommy wakes up, listen closely as she explains that I can get off my bed and play with toys if I don't take clothes out of the drawer or unpack Mommy's boxes.
12. Take all my toys out and think about which ones I want to play with.
13. Take clothes out of the drawers instead.
14. Consider rearranging furniture like I did last naptime. Climb on top of the dresser to get a better perspective.
15. Flip the light on and off a few (dozen) times.
16. Take more clothes out of the drawers.
17. Fall asleep on top of the dresser.
*Do not try this at home - but if it happens accidentally, take lots of pictures.
