Sleeping beauty or what??

I've always been somewhat fascinated (and slightly envious) that some kids can pretty much sleep anywhere, no matter what's going on.  Noah is no exception to that!  In fact, it's become quite an entertainment that he sleeps in such odd places and at odd times (like at ball games, and not when he should be, like at bedtime!)  He has been my exception to the rules about naptimes and bedtimes and I have to say that I have given up the fight.  Usually because I'm really tired, but also because we all need a little quiet time!  So when he gets his, I get my stuff done, for when I try to do it how I want it, neither of us gets what we need.

 

Here are some of the interesting spots for sleeping Noah...

 under the Christmas tree,

crashing with big brother after a busy day of playing,

during a snack (looks like ice cream),

 

after his dental procedure (can't blame him there!)

 this is DURING a snack (looks like "chocolate toast", aka. toast w/Nutella),

 



lunchtime (pretty sure it's still in his mouth),

(Sorry that one is sideways...he's at the table in a chair!)

 

playtime (puzzles help me relax too!),

this pillow was just too comfy!

 

And this one tops the charts so far!  Noah and Ian were playing in boxes and we suddenly noticed that he was quite comfy in his upside-down box.  (This was actually during nap time hours, but the kids had come home early due to bad weather, and he usually doesn't fall asleep well when they are home.)  This spot must have been "juuust right" for him.

 

In his defense, I think he comes from a line of easy sleepers.  I have plenty of pictures of Jason passing out with the kids as babies, and only I know how many of our conversations have been cut short by his ability to zonk out in between questions! 

 

 And it doesn't end there!  Here's one I got of Jason's dad this summer.  (Having all of your kids and grandkids under one roof for one weekend at a lake cabin will do that to a man!) 

Oh, is that a nearly-full beer?  Now you know he was tired!
