Wail, wail

As I sit here writing this post, our munchkin is wailing his little heart out in Chris’ arms. Caleb decided about 2 weeks ago that he would not tolerate being put down for naps or bed by anybody but me. In the middle of the night, Chris has tried to get him back to sleep, but stubborn Caleb would wail an hour+ and then continue to wail in my arms until the only thing that we could find to soothe him would be to nurse him. Oh my. Now, Chris is trying to get him down for his second nap of the day (with his first nap ending in 25 minutes). In order to avoid listening to the persistent wailing, I went to take a shower… a really long one where I tried to clean all the soap scum off the tile and glass doors. After 40 minutes, he continues to wail in Chris’ arms with only nano-moments of gasping quietness. Why does this child not like to sleep at all?
