Getting naughty and bad

Ivan's started to get a bit naughty and bad. He doesn't listen, or actually he listens but then tests our limits anyway.

He's also become a bit more difficult to put to sleep in the last few days. He seems to be hitting the "age of not being tired." Although I can see he's rubbing his eyes, pulling on his hair, loosing his balance a bit, laying down to hug Medic and drink his milk, he violently protests when I pick him up to put him to bed.

He cries. Throws Medic and other toys out of the crib. Flings his milk bottle onto the floor. Turns the light switch on. Stands up in his crib and cries.

I hope it's a phase that will quickly pass.

But on the positive side, I couldn't find the milk bottle he flung from the crib, and by the time I was going to go back to his room to hand him a fresh bottle of milk, he had calmed down and had actually fallen asleep.

So, that was an unanticipated score one for mommy in the milk and the bottle versus sippy cup war.
