Unprofessional Parenting

I stopped by my son’s room this afternoon while he was taking a nap and realized he’d been asleep for two hours already.  That’s usually the upper limit of his nap time so I decided to give him another fifteen minutes and see if he would drag himself out of his afternoon slumber.

After his time was up I went in to try to gently wake him up.  If he sleeps too long in the afternoon he’ll be up at five AM the next morning - not my preferred wake up time.  I delicately said his name a few times and he did not respond at all.  I reached down to touch him and tried again.  He rolled over and I that’s when I heard it.

“No” and he turned away from me. I was a little surprised so I tried again. “No mommy” and he pushed my hand away and went back to sleep.  I’m not sure when it happened but apparently my two year old is turning into a teenager already.  He refused to get up.

I was finally able to get him up and when I did he shot me a not so nice look. Man. It’s not like I’m waking him up to go to work but suddenly I realized that he is definitely his father’s son.  I’m so looking forward to the next sixteen years.
