Cure for the grumps

Sometimes, Lane comes down with a case of the 5:00 grumps.

(Sometimes = Days when he does not take an afternoon nap.)


So, I have devised a few ways to cure the grumps.

1. Prepare a dinner I know he will enjoy eating.

A few nights ago that dinner turned out to be spaghetti.






Let him have fun while eating dinner and take as much time as needed.

2. Then, I come up with an interesting, out of the ordinary evening activity that will keep him focused and keep him from fussing.

Well hello sink. You look like you will do the job.




Strip him down, turn on the water and let him go.

Two easy steps to curing the 5:00 grumps.
