Energized Out

It had been an exciting week. With Mommy on vacation and Grandma and Granddad Roe visiting, the boys were constantly busy all week long. They played hard at home, splashed at the spray park, climbed all over the Playzeum, went swinging at the park, took stroller rides everywhere, sat on everyone’s lap, read dozens of books, posed for family photos in the park, traveled to see the animals at the Evansville Zoo, and celebrated their year and one-half birthday with their parents and grandparents. After Grandma and Granddad Roe left for Florida Sunday morning, Benji was too keyed up to sleep. He played through his morning naptime and refused to go down for his afternoon siesta. He fussed until Sandy thought he would wake Davey, so Daddy took Benji for a stroller ride through the neighborhood. He sang and talked through the first mile, then suddenly got quiet. Apparently, his adrenalin finally ran dry.
