kyburgIf I ever think my kid is going to fall asleep simply because he's too tired, remind me about yesterday when I took him to Dave & Buster's for the first time.
And would not fall asleep until nine PM, afternoon nap included.
Not car trips, not long stints laying down...nothing put that kid to sleep until the sun had gone down and he gave up.
He had so much fun, and I'm happy to report that was a 100% successful trip - but. I need to remember my kid will not fall asleep when tired.
Most of the time, sure. Most of the time, on schedule.
But when there's something New and Shiny? Not a chance.
And I am completely within my purview of keeping that in mind when we're travelling with him. We gotta keep it simple, quiet and less than shiny if we want him to sleep. That worked with AOD, and it works just about everywhere else.
Las Vegas with him? Oh, I'd get exactly what I deserved. I'D NEVER SLEEP AGAIN.
