It's My Place: Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty

This weekend, after catching the little one sleep in a laundry basket while watching tv (couldn't find the damn camera), I realized that I've caught her sleeping in some crazy places.

One of my friends had sent her a box full of toys and we unloaded the toys the day before the picture was taken. I thought she was quietly playing with the toys in my room, so I left her alone. After about 30 minutes, I went to check on her:

As usual, she wasn't playing with the toys at all. She always finds it more fun to play with the packaging~~even today.

One evening during bathtime, the little one had drank a considerable amount of Bathwater Martinis, so I woke her to go to the bathroom in the middle of her beauty rest. I took her in the bathroom and she said when she was done, she would get back in bed. I went to make sure she was in bed ok, and she wasn't there, so I checked the bathroom:

For about 5 minutes I thought about leaving her there on the bathroom floor, and just covering her with a blanket (this was pre-Crazy Dog) , but I put her in bed anyway.

We have spent the last 3 Independence Days at Disneyland Paris. We go to Paris for 4-5 days, and stay at a hotel in the park, but spend only 2 days in the park. We take the train into Paris the other days (to go to the gap, of course!) and just hang out. On the last trip, The Lion King Review was playing at the park, so we decided to wait the 2 hours in line for it to begin. While in line, the little one started to doze...

I thought about going back to the hotel, but I'll be John Brown (don't ask who JB is) if I was going to hike AALLLLL the way through Disney Village to the hotel only for her to wake once we got there.

I MUST say that that is the LAST trip I took her stroller with me!! I'll be John Brown (don't ask!) if she falls asleep on me again so I can get all the dirty looks from folks that think I'm a bad mother because she's so tired!

When we went to London in August, I didn't take the 'baby car' and we took the train, bus, and walked ALL over London and she had a great time (plus strollers aren't too welcome in Harrod's).
