After our car accident in November, we had to get a new car. I'm not ashamed to say that I really like my new minivan! One of the best parts about it is that it has a DVD player. We don't abuse this and let the boys watch movies every time we are in the car--just at strategic moments. One of those such moments is when we are on the way home from somewhere and it's close to naptime. My kids are not the type of kids who transfer when asleep from the carseat to the bed. Oh, no. If they slept for 10 minutes in the car, that will most certainly replace an entire 2 of 3 hour nap. This makes for an unenjoyable afternoon. You should have seen the outrageous tactics we would resort to in trying to keep them awake while driving. Probably not too safe and certainly not too successful.
However, they 99.9% of the time will NOT fall asleep while watching a movie. Photos above are an illustration of this. Their eyes will droop and their heads will nod, but alas, no sleep. Poor Jesse. He looks especially tired since he didn't get a morning rest which he has been doing for the past couple of weeks. Don't worry though--he's sound asleep in his crib right now.
