why won't he just give in?

so....
henry, the adorable 18 month old little boy i am watching...
he is super cute he really is,
he will smile, and talk, and wow will he flirt,
he is a pretty good eater,
he doesn't get into to many things he shouldn't( other than the laptop)
he doesn't cry or whine to much,
he is incredibly curious and insists on knowing how everything works
he is really good in my opinion
however....
there is this little detail of a NAP!!!!!
he will lay in his bed forever and just not sleep,
how do I know...well he randomly every few minutes will make a little noise or something.
why?
why must he be so difficult at nap time?
on the plus side its not like he is unhappy, he is just AWAKE!!!
Abbie, is much better...
put her in bed, she is asleep within 5 minutes.
she does not sleep as long as Henry but she is cnosistent so at least i can know she is getting a nap.

soon enough we will switch them over to one nap a day, which won't be as cool for me because i will get bored with so much free time at once, but it will be better for them and at least i will know they are going to sleep.

but for now its just slowing letting everyone adjust...
they moved from oregon maybe a month ago
they have had mom home full time since birth but now she is working full time
they don't have their grandparents around all the time like they did
they have a new person in their lives a lot of the time
they no longer get bottles which just happened this week
soon enough they will not be getting binks either...
so for now we deal with a little unpreditable napping because they have a lot of other stuff to adjust to.

overall its really good though.
i enjoy the kids,
the drive is not an issue at all
the hours are good
the days go pretty quick
we have fun laughing and giggling and chasing them around
the parents are cool
no real issues which is amazing!!!!

life is finally starting to come together, gotta figure out how to get some time in with a certain friend and her kids, but it will happen when both of us get more settled with life.

so happy right now with where my life is going!!!
