Sigh....it is the only way I can get Colton to take a nap. Seriously, he is not even 6 months old and would skip naps all together if I didn't:
a) put him in his swing with the paci, turn the lights off and walk out of the room (I go back if he cries) but he will just lift his head and look at you if you don't leave and then start to fuss that he wants out.
b) put him in the car and drive around. He can not resist the car ride.
I love sleep. I love naps. Don't get what both of my kids have against it. They take after their Dad. You know in Elf where Buddy says "I got a full 30 seconds of sleep, I feel great." That is my husband.
Re: I'm ignoring my child
I know how you feel! My DH is totally like that too. As soon as he wakes up, he has to hop out of bed and do something.

I wish I could spend a day sleeping. One of these years, I am going to ask for just that for my birthday. Of course, I will be wide awake by 8 am and not know what to do with myself for the rest of the day.
