Failed Parenting

Eric has not slept for the last 2 nights. In my extreme tiredness I decided that Eric would not get his afternoon television time. So instead he came in the sewing room with me. I am in the middle of making a dozen new bibs so we can retire the worn looking ones.  

It did not occur to me until his afternoon aide came that it looked to her like he was getting a special treat.  Extra time with me and brand new bibs to boot. This is an epic parenting failure.

In my defense I did try to nap today, but every time I fell asleep the door bell rang.
