Irritability, eye rubbing and head scratching for my little boy ❤️xx

To be honest, I do what Huckleberry tells me to because by the time he looks tired it's too late to avoid a screamy nap!

Crying.

Baby having floor time and the first cry I'll check to see if something is up, then put back down. Second cry = nap time, every time.
