When Dax made the transition from the crib to the big boy bed, it went off according to plan. Heck, we put him down to sleep, read a few books to him, and he went off to slumberland. We worried that he would wake up in the middle of the night and start exploring our house while we were asleep, but lo and behold, Dax wouldn't even get out of his bed in the morning unless we picked him up and carried him out of his room.
It was four or five months of blissful bedtimes. Until Dax finally thought to himself: "What would happen if I follow Daddy back out to the great room after he finally tucks me in? Will I be able to watch some more tv? hmmm."
For the past two weeks, when we think we've finally put Dax down for the night, that's when you hear the shuffling of his feet coming down the hallway. Some nights he'll do this seven or eight times; other nights he'll do it two or three times. Sometimes he'll wait in the hallway just out of sight and sometimes he'll blatantly run into the great room, fall on his tummy, and then look at you with the most innocent smile that says, "I'm up!! What are you going to do about it??!!!"
Can't wait for this "I'm Not Sleepy, So I'm Not Going To Sleep" phase to end.
Is this a bad time to mention that, at the ripe age of 31, I'm still in the "I'm not sleepy so I'm not going to bed" phase? Maybe?
Forget I mentioned it. And, um, don't tell Dax I said anything, either!

I've been looking for her all over the net. She knows my mom. She's from the philippines. I noticed you're also from the philippines. So I do hope you know her. My mom says she's a nurse.
