  • Madeleine has taken to calling Grant "Little Grant", as in, "Here you go, Little Grant."  It's usually when she's being sweet to him, and it's rather a term of endearment, I think.  This has been going on for a week or two.  Today, she had a fun variation on it.  We were outside, and I was trying to get Grant to pedal his tricycle.  He's not quite long enough to give the pedals enough umph, but he was trying.  Madeleine said to him encouraginly, "You can do it, Little Pedaler!"  I loved it! 

    I guess I'm trying to get Grant to skip naps.  He is hard to get to sleep sometimes, and then will stay up way too late.  The last two days have been successful, though he's pretty tired by the end of the day.  I suppose we'll go back and forth between naps and no-naps.  I remember that Madeleine had a transition period as well.

    Maybe I should go to bed.  I don't feel tired, but it's getting late.
