Today I have to admit defeat to your father, this is not an easy task for me, as humble pie does not taste good.
You, my love, are impossible to put down for a nap, at this moment you only nap if taken for a 20 minute car ride or 45 minute walk, and then left in the laundry room with the dryer on (safely of course). I can tell you this has been hard on the pocket book.
I bought a swing for you when you were much younger, perhaps 2 months, and you had no interest in it. So eventually after many failed attempts I sold it.
Yesterday your dad came home with a new swing, and I rolled my eyes and said "sure lets try it" to mostly pacify him.
It was not simple and it took sitting on the cold tile floor, listening to your night time song 3 times (5 minutes long) and singing loudly to you before you eventually fell asleep in your swing...in the laundry room...with the dryer on...but hey! No driving. Whoo
I gave dad a kiss and said it worked, but had not yet admitted defeat. It was not until I tried again this morning that you fell asleep after only 2 night time songs that I admitted that perhaps dad was right and you liked the swing.
I served myself up a nice big slice of humble pie and admitted to your dad that he won. Even if it didn't work for your midday nap ;) .
