Sleeping

How nice it would be to be able to drop off to sleep anytime, anywhere, in any position.

The other day I gave the two youngest kids a bath (yes, I was home alone). It wasn't that bad, Ethan is a regular fish & doesn't need much hands on except for washing. Sophie was fine if I kept her covered with a warm washcloth. My purpose for the bath was to tire Sophie out so I could put Ethan (who has broncitis) to bed for a nap.

After the bathing, diapering, lotioning and dressing of both children I was able to sit down & nurse Sophie. Ethan wanted to stay upstairs and play in his room. Okay, I thought, I'll clean his mess up later. So I went down and nursed Sophie. Well as you can guess, I was tired. So while I dozed, Sophie ate & Ethan played. And then IT happened, you moms know what I'm getting to.

I awake with a start (no it was not to the clatter of 8 reindeer on my roof), IT was quiet. There was NO noise. All was not right. Sophie was finally asleep, so I carried her to her bed. When I entered their room, the toys were all over the floor and I found my youngest son like this:

The funny part is he's laying on top of the heating vent. Come to find out his daddy liked to throw a blanket over the vent and then curl up under it. Don't worry his face was not on the vent. I did what any good mom would, I laughed (quietly so as not to wake his sister) and then grabbed the camera. Oh yes, I also picked him up & put him in bed.
