Don't Wake A Sleeping Baby!

It's very frustrating for me that I am sitting at home, not working these days, and yet I can't volunteer at Colin's school or go on field trips with Evans class because I have a baby at home and no day care options for Logan.  I absolutely love being home with Logan, but I wish that I could take advantage of not working and be able to help out more at the boys' schools.

Well, I am friends with the class mom for Colin's class so she asked me if I wanted to help volunteer at the school once a month.  Some of the parents get together in the cafeteria and help the Kindergarten teachers with whatever prep work needs to be done for future class projects (i.e. tracing, cutting, etc).  She said that I could bring Logan in a stroller, so I jumped at the opportunity to help out. 

Unfortunately, I wasn't thinking that Logan is normally napping during that time.  Sure enough I had to wake him when he was only about a third in to his nap.  I have always heard the term "Don't wake a sleeping baby", and for the most part I like to follow that belief.  I am a schedule person and like my kids sleeping/napping on a schedule, I think it is good for all of us.  So, it felt very wrong to go in to his room and wake him up. 

He was a trooper the first half hour I was at the school, he just sat in the stroller and watched me trace.  But, then he got real fussy and I had to cut it short, since I couldn't trace and use scissors if I picked him up.  Oh well, I learned today that volunteering is just not going to happen until all the kids are in school.  From now on I will let Logan enjoy his naps and I will just enjoy being home with him.
