Who am I to argue?

Levi likes to sleep.

Levi takes two naps per day (usually about 2 hours each) and sleeps about twelve hours per night. I'm not complaining!

Levi has started asking for naps. Some days he heads off to his crib, grabs his blanket and lion (bee-bee and eye-a), says "up" and when I put him in his crib, he lays right down and starts sucking on his fingers. Occasionally, he calls out "nuh-night" as I leave the room!

Tonight, Levi decided in the middle of playtime that it was time for bed. It was about 15 minutes before we normally start getting him ready for bed, but he has never verbally requested to go to bed. We were playing in the basement and out of nowhere, Levi goes to the basement door and starts saying "nuh-night". I figured he wasn't serious, so I opened the door and let him go upstairs. He headed right for his room and after a diaper change and PJs, he grabbed his "bee-bee" and "eye-a" and nearly lunged for his crib. I started to sing "Jesus Loves Me" and when I got to the chorus I laid him in the crib. He immediately rolled over, curled up with his back toward me - as if to say "Mommy, I said nuh-night, now leave me alone!"

Levi likes to sleep - he is his mother's son!
