The end of an era

I think the Bryce-man is no longer a napper.

This makes me so sad.  A) because I love having "quiet time" everyday--my only chance to get phone calls, projects, an occasional nap, or lazy computer time in everyday.  And B) because Bryce becomes a tired little monster from about 4:00 until bedtime.

Every day this week, I have put him in bed as per our usual routine.  He usually plays with his cars for a bit then all goes quiet while he takes a two-hour snoozer.  But lately there is no quiet.  All week there have been calls of: "Ninjagooooo!" followed by jumping and spinning sounds.  This goes on for a solid hour before he asks to get out.

But yesterday after some jumping and spinning, I heard:

"MOM!  ARE YOU KIDDING ME?  ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEEE?"

(Sigh)  I'm not kidding.  Naps are a thing of the past.
