Sleeping Brooke



Where do you prefer your children to sleep? If you know Brooke, you know why I love it when she is sleeping. Brooke has a mind of her own (yes, she might have got that from her stubborn mom). Everyone at our house shares the work load according to their own capabilities. Each girl is required to be a part of setting the table for dinner. One person puts out the plates, the forks, the cups (filled with ice water), etc. I have always said that if you don't do your part, then you can eat after everyone else. Well, Brooke decided to be the first one to test this rule. In addition to being tired, she didn't want to behave so she was put in time out. The hallway serves as our time out spot (super nanny says that is a "no fun" place to be). Brooke proceeded to scream during most of our dinner. Then I noticed that she was quiet. I called to her and said she could come eat (most were done by now) since she had calmed down. There was no response from her. The picture shows why. She slept there for about an hour and then woke up as a really scary monster. By the time I got her into the bath tub (as a relaxer) she was back to herself. Ask me if I believe in NAPS!
