if you can't beat him, join him or have him join you!

This phrase must have originated with parents everywhere that have children that do not nap. And I laughed at my Dad who was having difficulty trying to outsmart my 3 year old niece Maddy - now I'm wondering how to outsmart a 3 month old kiddo who doesn't seem to like his naps. I truly understand how getting the advantage over laundry is a new challenge as well since it is now 6pm and I'm still looking at the basket of clothes I was going to fold after getting back from our morning walk taking Daddy to work. Sigh....

So after carefully putting Finn down around 4pm I started in on making lasagna in our new easy bake oven and after that - brownies! Well at 4:20p Finn starts screaming (yes I even set the timer so I wouldn't go in there immediately). So I get him up and say what the heck - and moved his new mini-seat that attaches to the countertop in the kitchen and proceed with making lasagna. I bring over some of his veggie/fruit rattles and get out a plastic cup and bowl and in the end he seemed to like my Rachel Ray impression.
