Here's Aden after 3 hours of being in his bed, wide awake the entire time. Since he turned 2, he would go through periods of not napping. He would just stay in his bed and talk and no matter how tired he is, he just refuses to give in to sleep. It always worries me that he is starting to give up his nap, but then, he'll start napping again like normal. So every day, I put him in his bed and doesn't let him out of it until either he's napped or 3 hours has gone by (he usually naps for 3 hours). Luckily, he never cries or throws a fit, he just hangs there until his time is up.

The face of the no-nap boy

Then there's the bunnies...
We've also been seeing a couple of bunnies hanging around outside, but they're definitely a little more cautious than the deer. One of them did decide to show up while we were feeding the deer, and got pretty close to one of the deer. At one point, one of the deer looked at the bunny and I told Darin that I will just freak out if the deer started attacking the bunny. Fortunately, it seems like they're friends and gets along fine. It feels like we're at Disneyland every time we're at the beach house and all these animals coming out of the woods!
Deer
We have a group of deer that would walk by our house at the beach. Our neighbor started giving them apples and now, they always check out the houses to see if there's anyone that would give them a treat. It is so odd to see deer hanging around, begging for food just like dogs do. I guess the most amazing thing is that we can get at least one of the deer to grab food out of our hands. They would even take it from Aden! And of course, Aden thinks this is the coolest thing to do.
Party crashers
Darin & Aden decided to crash our party and joined us at the beach on Saturday. Everyone was cool with this especially since Darin mixed us drinks and made us meals. My friend Bernie also hasn't seen Aden since he was an infant so she was glad to spend time with him. We made Aden climb the dune on his own for the first time and we were all shocked that he walked the entire time and did not want to be carried. He was quite tired and thirsty when we reached the top!
Girls weekend
I went to the beach with a couple of friends for the weekend. The weather cooperated, it was sunny and pretty warm weather for March. It was great to catch up and go on walks on the beach. We haven't had a girls' weekend for a while, life kind of got in the way. Hopefully we'll be able to do another one of these soon, we had such a great time just talking and hanging out.
