I put Audrey down for a nap, which meant I was listening to some rather unnatural screaming. This normally means she's exhausted and it will end suddenly, so I've finally gotten used to completely ignoring it. Sebastian naps in my bed on days like this, so he can sleep in the quiet. I just have to run back there every so often to make sure the dog bed hasn't moved onto my bed and confiscate any iPads or iPhones. Within the first 5 minutes, his nap proved useful: I confiscated my cell phone, which had been missing since last night.
Back at the computer with my phone, I vaguely heard HULK SMASH! HULK SMASH MORE! and AVENGERS ASSEMBLE! which meant that Sebastian had found one of his own electronic toys that needed to be confiscated and Audrey was asleep, since I could hear that toy three rooms away.
"Mom!"
I jumped. He was right next to me, holding the armrest of the computer chair and shaking his little heiny with a big grin on his face. Hulk continued to talk in the background.
"Mom! I shared Hulk with Audrey and now she's not sad!"
Rats! Foiled again! There's nothing I can do. My nemesis in my fight for quality parenting and naptime routine is a grinning little boy shaking his heiny.
(Also, I love the word heiny. It cracks me up.)
