no nap

J had his first 'all day' family visit Friday. His visit have been extended from 3 hours every 2 weeks to 7 hours every week. Plus another 1.5 hours for his BM (even though the judge declared her not an option to raise him because she didn't file the proper paperwork but he didn't cancel her visitation order). He came home a basket case! He cried and whined for an hour no matter if I was holding him or not. He was beyond tired and exhausted. He could barely walk or stand without falling over. 

No nap. 

The note in the communication book from his family stated no nap, but he instead watched dvds. 

SERIOUSLY??? that is plural for one thing. But you finally get him for a full day and you plunk him in front of the tv for who knows how long? (but long enough that it was dvds not dvd). Also the boy does not fall in front of the tv. No matter how tired he is. He can't sleep with stimulation at all (not even a book or a small car). CO can. He usually falls asleep listening to audiobooks or music but I have to wait for J to be asleep first otherwise no sleep for J. 

I am not a big fan of tv for kids to begin with, and I know I am not the norm. J never watches more than 1 hour of tv and I try to keep it to only 30 minutes. But you'd think they would celebrate their first all day together doing something like a trip to the park.

I finally declared 'enough' and put him to bed (in which he cried for tv) sigh
