a trick up his sleeves

Yesterday towards the end of Asher's nap time I checked the monitor to see if he was stirring yet and was met with this sight.

 

I know it's kind of hard to see, but what's laying there is a naked boy.

Naked!

{well, he is still wearing a diaper - thank goodness!}

What's so interesting, Mommy?

Every morning I have to wrestle Asher's little arms and legs into clothes, so I have no clue how he managed to get them off.  You'd think at least there would have been some noise accompanying the disrobing, but no - silent.

He was so proud of himself.

Here's my pants, Mom!

During most naps he takes off his socks and throws them out of the crib, so he usually enjoys showing me where his socks are.  Now he got to show me the socks, pants, and shirt!

One of Asher's sleep rituals is throwing several stuffed toys and/or books out of his crib before he can sleep.  I tried just leaving his crib empty, but that won't do - he likes to throw everything out before he settles down.  I guess now we can add clothing to that mix!  ha!

I can promise you, the first time the diaper joins the pile will be the last.  I've heard duct tape works wonders to head off that little trick.
