Taboo???

For the past week or so, Drew has defiantly been trying to give up his afternoon nap. It's not just that I desperately want a break in the afternoon for myself, he still really does need it. If he doesn't take a "little rest" as he calls it, then he is a raving lunatic and very defiant all afternoon and evening! He is just such a sweetheart and so much more enjoyable when he has had an adequate amount of sleep. Anyway...

Yesterday, during our daily battle for a nap, Drew ended up losing all his "lovies". He starts getting crazy when he is tired and throwing everything that he insists on sleeping with. So far, he wants to sleep with 4 or 5 blankets, 2 little baseball dolls, a cabbage patch kid we call Garrett, another baby doll we called baby brother when I was pregnant, a few more stuffed animals now and then, and most recently- a towel! (oh yeah, and a few pillows, and a fish Moshi pillow). Well, after losing nearly all his lovies, and going round and round with his mother, and throwing things from off the desk in the room he was in, my mom heard a buzzing sound in the room. Sure enough, Drew had been messing around in the closet too! We heard the buzzing sound coming from the alarm system box that was in the closet. Mom called the alarm system company several times, trying to get it to stop. She threw every breaker in the house to reset it, and nothing worked! At this point, I was furious with my child!

After putting Garrett down for his rest, I moved Drew to my room and he and I layed down to rest while Mom worked on the alarm some more. After talking on the phone some more with the alarm company, Mom figured it out. You see, below the alarm box is where the games are kept, in particular, Taboo. The buzzing sound- the buzzer from the Taboo game. Drew had just stepped on it. He hadn't messed with the alarm, just stepped on the buzzer. Ahh!!! And Mom, she had to tell the alarm tech on the phone how she had fixed it. What a day!
