    How frustrating is it...

    when your kids fall asleep in the car for a nanosecond, then miraculously don't need a nap once you get inside

    Took Moo out this morning and he was soooo tired, shut his eyes briefly as we got down our street. Of course now he's in bed he's having a grand old time in there! I've been listening to him muck around for about 45mins now and I think I'm fighting a losing battle.

    Oh man I hate that! I try to avoid going in the car at any time of the day before she's had a sleep or we have the same problem!

    Oh I'm totally hearing you! Like that 1 minute 30 nap can happily recharge them for a whole day when you're just going to be hanging out at home for the rest of the afternoon but on other days that you have lots to do, you have to wake them after 2 hours and they're cranky, tired little monsters right through until bedtime... Can't win!

    Ahhh, I know the exact feeling. Once they've had a microsleep, they think they are all rested and ready for the rest of the day!
