For the last nine months Adell has been happy to have "a nurse and a nap" if it was time for her naps during the day. When she was looking/acting sleepy I'd scoop her up in my arms and we'd go have a snuggle and nurse in my bed. She'd fall fast asleep and get a great nap--morning, noon or night.
About two weeks ago Adell decided "a nurse and a nap" meant "harass and annoy Momma". Instead of snuggling close to me and falling asleep she would crawl all over the bed, crawl all over me and try to rip my hair out of my head.
I knew it was time for her to take her naps in her crib instead of my bed. More over, it was time for her to put her self to sleep at nap time.
So today when she started looking/acting sleepy I sang her a little song and plunked her in her crib.
She cried for 20 minutes.
When she finally stopped crying I checked up on her via the baby video monitor (one of my all time favorite craigslist purchases).
This is what I saw: (except on a tiny black and white TV screen--remember it was a craigslist purchase).
Do you see that?
My baby has fallen asleep folded in half!
Look at this--I think she is sucking on the bottom of her foot.
Don't worry, I moved her into a more comfortable sleeping position (after taking a bunch of pictures...)
Sweet dreams, Baby.

Good thing little ones are flexible! Mine have done that lots of time and I'm always afraid to move them and wake them up!
I love your school post below! I am wondering what school they go to? The first day (and week) is always insane huh? I hope you are getting a lot accomplished during the days, I am starting to think about accomplishing something!
Adell is adorable!
