Just a word to the wise. When your toddler takes a late nap on Daddy...
He will not fall asleep at his normal bedtime. And since bedtime is also known as game time these days, you will have to bring him into the livingroom so you don't miss the first 3+ innings.
You may be pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable this time will be. Like when you 'read' a story with him, and ask where the turtle is, just to hear the sound of your own voice. And then he actually points out the turtle, and says "turtle" for the first time.
Or just getting to watch him snuggle his Dada...
and the pillow you put out in hopes he would fall asleep on it like his big brother once did...
(no such luck!)
and the bath towel that was left lying around...
Of course, in the end, you will have to stand and rock him to sleep for what feels like an hour, resulting in a backache that will carry over into the next day. But it will all be worth it. :o)
