T-Dubs

One night in the not-so-distant past, we were trying (unsuccessfully) to put Colin to bed.  The kiddo was visibly tired, then quickly passed into over-tired status with a side of the crazies.  He started rolling around like a madman, frantically moving about doing anything and everything to keep himself awake.  (Because, you see, when you're super crazy tired the best possible course of action is to stay awake.  Whatever you do, do NOT go to sleep!)

The munchkin was so out of control it was really kind of funny.  His father said it was a case of the "Tennessee Willies" which has since become a part of our household vocabulary.  In a brief moment of slang brilliance usually reserved for H, I shortened this terms to be a case of the "t-dubs" and it stuck.

Sadly Colin still is anti-sleep... when he gets tired (at naptime or bedtime) he always puts up a fight before giving in.  He doesn't bother with any little backyard brawl, we're talking Thriila in Manilla action which we here in the Oubliette call... the T-Dubs.
