Finally a purpose to my insomnia

Keeping up with a two year old that cannot get changed over from Siberian time to Eastern standard. He slept from 1 PM till 11:30 PM and has been up from 11:30 to 5 AM. I tried everything to keep him awake yesterday because i knew that "nap time" in this time zone would be roughly bed time in his old time zone. But it didn't work - he fell asleep sitting up in the grocery cart at the store. I also tried nearly everything to wake him up - loud music, bright lights, cooler temps ( no covers and window open)and even pulled him out of bed. I tried to stand him up but have you ever tried to stand up a cooked spaghetti noodle? Yeah - same effect. I carried him outside - I did everything but put him in the bath tub. I considered that but I was afraid he'd drown but still not wake up. That probably wouldn't look good on the post placement report.

So in the end I just gave up and napped myself from 9:30 to 11:30. Heck, I'm usually up til 3 AM any way. Whats an extra couple hours?
