sleepy.


My little man has a knack for falling asleep whenever and wherever sleep hits him. As soon as his little eyes start to droop, it's lights out. Here's the proof:

#1. This was either the second or third day after Carly went back to school. He didn't even make it out of his pajamas that morning and he was already back in dreamland.

#2. Wesley loves climbing up onto the counters and digging through the cupboards for snacks. Looks like this time he tired himself out on his quest for some fun-fruits and fell asleep before he was able to enjoy his treat.
(Again, still wearing his pjs.)

#3. I found Wesley like this the other day. Although he looked extremely uncomfortable, I knew that if I moved him, his nap and my quiet time would be over. So, like the wonderful mother I am, I snapped a few pictures instead. Oh, and look, he made it out of his pajamas this time! I guess that's progress.

Where's the funniest place you've found you're little one asleep?

That last one had me laughing out liud. Ella fell asleep on our basement stairs once. Kneeling on a stair and resting her head on the one above.

Let's see. . .
Nikita's best place was in the laundry basket that I left in her room. It was full of clothes and she was buried under them. I didn't know she was in there until I tried to pick it up.
Max's was in the bath tub with just enough water to almost drown in. But he also fell asleep on the swing at the park (the baby kind).
And I have dozens of picture of Ivan & Andre. The funniest thing about them was that they were always falling asleep on top of each other.
But I do remember Andre fell asleep right next to the toilet after he went potty one night, with his pants still down!

Cute pictures. I once found Cameron asleep on the bathroom floor. Not very funny, but I did snap a picture too :)

Like Emilie's daughter, we found our Hannah asleep on the stairs once (she was in a "sound of music" phase and loved acting out the part of the youngest VonTrapp daughter singing goodbye while she slowly crawls backwards up the stairs). She also fell asleep one night at the dinner table in her chair - not a high chair or booster seat, just a regular kitchen chair. Just tipped her head sideways and fell asleep. The one of Wesley on the countertop is awesome!

That is too funny!

Angie said...

This was cute. Has Wes always been like these? Falling asleep in random places? Carter's still too little to have funny sleeping positions like this. But I can imagine I would do the same thing. Let him sleep and take a picture. :)

Austin said...

lol. too cute and funny.

since i don't have any little ones, i'll tell about myself. i think the funniest place i fell asleep was in a closet, standing up, while playing hide & seek.

Great pictures! What a gift to be able to fall asleep so easily no matter where you are (he will be a great missionary someday...very adaptable :)). Both my kids have fallen asleep on Small World at Disneyland...it must be the repetitive song and rocking boat. I can't wait to hear where Wesley falls asleep next!

Maddy said...

Oh those pictures are priceless. My kids never fall asleep anywhere except for Nate. maybe it's a boy thing.

Jeanette said...

Cute pictures! No big deal he's in his p.j.s I'm still in mine too!

From Dad B:
Ammon fell asleep on the top of our couch ("like Snoopy") - fell off, and went back to sleep behind the couch. We thought he was lost and started a neighborhood man-hunt.

I guess like father like son.

Sooo funny... & so lucky! My girls rarely fall asleep anywhere but bed. And then it's only the carseat.

Lucky girl!! I don't have one sleeper out of 3 boys. Grrr. I'm a little bitter.

I LOVE the countertop picture, he is so adorable. I don't think I have ever fallen asleep in a strange place, but I did nany for a little girl one who fell asleep while we played "hide and seek" she was little and din't really understand the game, so she would randomly yell "HIDE HIDE" and then just disappear. I looked EVERYWHERE for her and was getting really worried...until I found her under her crib fast asleep.

Shannon said...

very funny! I remember when my sister was little, we searched all over the house for her and found her asleep in the toy box.

Those pictures are adorable and hilarious. My 4 year old tends to fall asleep in strange places (like hanging over the back of the couch, head on the seat cushions, snoring away? How is that really comfortable?), and I like you, snapped the pictures and left him dreaming. :) So cute!
