Kids will sleep anywhere!

People always talk about how kids will sleep anywhere. You hear stories about kids falling asleep in strange places, in strange positions, in the middle of doing something, etc. Well, Christopher was never one of those kids. It usually takes quite a bit of convincing to get him to go to sleep. He prefers to keep playing. He has occasionally fallen asleep on the couch and quite frequently falls asleep in the car, but that's about it. Until now......

Some explanation first....Christopher has decided that he no longer wants to take naps. Unfortunately, he still really NEEDS to take a nap. When he doesn't take a nap he gets uber-cranky and becomes Destructo-Boy. He does things like take ALL the clothes out of his dresser and throw them around the room or tear down all his drawings and paintings that were hanging on his walls or climb up onto a chair and attempt to get everything off the kitchen counter. Today he emptied three shelves of the book shelves in our family room and left all the books in a giant pile on the floor. He was refusing to clean them up and at one point was trying to hide from me by going behind a chair in our family room. I knew he was back there and couldn't get him out, so I decided to get back to work preparing for my interviews. After a little bit, I realized that he was very quiet. I went to investigate. This is what I found.....


He had fallen asleep back there behind the chair! He slept like that for about an hour. Crazy kid!
