Between the time Owen wakes up and when we come into his room to get him, he's exploring (read, "tumping things over"). But when we enter, more often than not, he'll grab his blanket and lie back down on his mattress, saying, "More naptime," or, "Owen go back to sleep." The first time he did this at way-too-early in the morning, I was fooled and thought, "Sweet," not realizing that "Owen sleeping" would last about ten seconds. He'll do the same sort of thing when we come back into his room to change from PJs to regular clothes, the only difference being that he'll grab a paci to go with the blanket.
I think that he does this to get extra paci time - he only has it for sleeping - or because it's funny to trick Dad. I'm thinking it's more the latter. I started teasing him about being on to his little scheme, and at this point, he can't keep from laughing at his own cleverness even as he is declaring his sleeping.

The morning lie-down/stand-up routine

Bisousette does that ALL the time. She loves to pull a blanket on while she's on the couch and say "Nap!" or "bedtime!" Then three seconds later "AWAKE!" Now she will curl up on the boppy (when Julia is not using it), stick a paci in her mouth (she never used one, ever before the baby was born), and cover herself (sort of) with one of Julia's receiving blankets, then say "nap." Someone is regressing a little.
Excellent. I guess we can look forward to this in a few months!
