I found my 3 yr old like this during nap time today… it seems baby doll has been displaced from her bed.

It reminded me of a picture I snapped a few weeks ago of both on my girls as we found them when we peeked in on them before going to bed.

YES… they are both sleeping INSIDE of their drawers!
And since I am sharing sleeping pics, why not share a few of my lil man snoozing as well?

What is it about a sleeping baby that just makes your heart swoon?

Math has never been my strong suit (except in 3rd grade, I did awesome with the multiplication tables and was the class champ at around the world, but that was b/c all I had to do was memorize facts and not understand the process)
Anyway, as I was saying… math has never been my gifting… and math at 3 am is certainly not my gifting. So, I calculated the hours again.
Could it really be true?
7 hrs
Yup, I’ve done the math multiple times.
I fed my little guy at 8:15pm and I went to bed at around 10pm. He didn’t cry to be fed until a little after 3am. 8-12 is 4 hrs and 12-3 is 3 hrs…add them together and you get …
7 hrs
Now I can’t yet bank on this happening every night, but I’ve got a feeling that things are going to get a bit easier around here.

I think I’ve mentioned before that my oldest three all share a room. This week the kids have started taking turns sleeping with the baby.
Sunday night the boys got to sleep together. My oldest was so excited about sharing a room with his little brother. I couldn’t help but snap a picture as I peeked in on them before going to bed.

When I went to look in on the girls I found them both cuddled up together on the floor… it appears they decided to have a sleep over of their own!
The next night my oldest daughter wanted to sleep with the baby. As she was getting ready for bed she told me to make sure when I put him to sleep that I put his pacifier where she could reach in the crib so that she could help him if he woke up. She told me she’d take care of him and I wouldn’t have to get up. One of the times when I went in to feed him, I found her by his crib giving him his pacifier and talking sweetly to him. In the morning I found she had moved off of the bed and onto the floor so she could be closer to him.
I wonder how long it’ll be before all four of them are sleeping in the same room?!
My daughter sleeps with so many animals, pillows, dolls, and blankets in her bed, that sometimes when I go in to kiss her before I go to bed, I can’t find her.
One night I thought I saw her and then realized I almost kissed her cabbage patch doll.
Can you find her in the pile? It reminds me of the old Where’s Waldo books.
Here’s a closer look… there she is!

Guess not much has changed from this picture taken a year and a half ago!

I went in to wake my daughter from nap time today and found her like this.

I’m not sure if she fell asleep while playing or if she was just doing all she could to keep herself from falling asleep.
Either way, looks rather uncomfortable to me.
Then there’s her sister.
We looked down during a soccer game a few weeks ago and found her like this.
Yes, that would be my youngest asleep ON the soccer field, during a game.

And, yes, I took a picture of her sleeping on the field, before I removed her.
Seems, if they are tired enough, my girls will sleep in the most unusual positions.
Here’s my daughter sleeping in her crib at 8 months old.
And here she is at 14 mths old. Still enjoys sleeping “folded in half”, as we refer to it.

Earlier this week when my husband went in to kiss the kids goodnight, he found her at 3 and 1/2 sleeping in the very same position she favored as an infant.
I would think with age this position would grow more impossible and uncomfortable.
