On Strike Against Sleep

This afternoon was extremely trying on both my son and myself. We were not at home, which always poses a problem when it comes to his nap time. Most of the time if we go to one of his Grandmother's houses there is a playpen to put him in so he falls asleep. Not the case today. No playpen, just me, my son, and a bed.

I went to lie down with him in bed hoping he would dose off. No go. Then he started to get up and leave so I held him. Made him mad. Then he started to hit me in the face so I held him still and kept his arms from getting to me. Pissed him off. At the end of the experience we had been through an hour of him screaming bloody murder, and I was growing more angry each moment. So, the time came to leave and I planned on the car putting him to sleep while we drove to the next house to visit for the day.

He fell asleep in the car. Yay! Now, how do we simulate a driving car inside the house for my two year old next time?

p.s. the worst part is that even if I took him for a drive to get him asleep... he always always wakes up when we stop the car and will not go back down, unless it is the middle of the night. Ugh!
