This is a first

I've seen those incredible videos of kids falling asleep while playing and eating, and I've seen the videos on cutethingsfallingasleep.org. But I know my kiddo is not one of those kinds of kids. She takes staying awake into an art form. What to do when you missed your nap and had an overstimulating day?! Dig through your toys, throw things, build things, clean things, do anything, keep going!

Then yesterday she crashed for a late nap and slept for 16 hours. I was so worried about her, and had her dad check in on her several times. Yes, she was fine, just sleeping. This morning she'd been up for two hours when dad decided to offer her lunch.

A sleepy, visibly sleepy - not fighting it - sleepy Mitt. Maybe a first and last time.
