Adventures in naptime

Michael still very much needs his afternoon naps. Since we do bedtime a bit later here, he doesn't usually go down for nap until about 2 or 3. Most days there aren't any problems, as he plays quietly, arranges his pillow and blankets on the floor, and finally falls asleep. Weekends seem to be his favorite time with experimenting on the whole nap thing, though. It is a frequent refrain around here that "Your pants stay on. Your diaper stays on." He still has to test that every now and then, since it's such a novelty that he can do that all by himself (still no interest in doing anything other than *sitting* on the potty, though, with no results). We also took off the childproof door handle awhile ago to let him have a little more autonomy - also so that we didn't have to bounce up and down quite as often freeing the boys from his room every time they closed the door while playing. Michael mostly respects this, but sometimes he very quietly sneaks out of the room when we think he's asleep. Once or twice we have unexpectedly discovered him in different rooms, completely passed out. Silly boy.
