one tired boy

Sundays are hard for Tripp because church is right in the middle of his morning nap. We have to wake him up about half way through it to get him fed and ready to go in time. He is usually awake for the whole service but getting him home without him falling asleep is a challenge (I don't love it when he falls asleep in his car seat because he doesn't usually stay asleep during the transfer and if we leave him in there, he will only sleep for 20 mins or so max). So today on the drive home, I was doing all I could to keep him awake. I was singing to him, talking to him, giving him toys to play with. But this boy was so tired that none of that worked. In fact, he fell asleep while holding onto the ball. He didn't even have enough energy to let it go. Thankfully he went right back to sleep when we put him in his crib and he slept for a good two hours. I just thought it was pretty cute that he was still holding so intensely onto the ball while sleeping so soundly.
