For the whole day, Valerie didn't nap much. Probably an hour in the morning and then another hour in the afternoon. But she's been such an angel... she wasn't very fussy, even after the immunization shots yesterday... except for not wanting to be left alone.
After Valerie woke up from her last nap and playing a little while, my mom had Valerie seated on her lap facing outwards while she was sitting at the dining table talking to me. As I prepare for dinner, my mom would entertain Valerie, and being in the kitchen, she' s kind of keeping me company too. Valerie would usually be looking around, playing with her fingers, drooling and just being a contented little girl...sitting on her grandma's lap.
Anyways, the story is... while we were chatting away about some curry spices and not paying much attention to Valerie, my mom suddenly asked me, "Is she asleep?". I looked at Valerie and gasped, "Yes! She's nodding off to sleep while still sitting up". Oh my goodness!! Her head was just nodding and eyes were closed...
My heartached as I carried her and put her down to sleep. She must be so sleepy that she didn't cared what position she was in. But she wasn't fussing either. It must be very comfortable sitting on grandma's mushy lap. Hahhahahaaha..... The after thought was, I chuckled to myself and said, "Shucks... should have gotten the camera out!!" Well... luckily I didn't. Cos what kind of mom would I be if I'd rather take a picture of my sleepy baby than to put her to sleep.
On this similar note, I actually saw a video clip recently of an infant sitting on the floor and nodding himself to sleep and eventually fell over flat on his back. And I was thinking, "What are these parents thinking? They'd rather tape their child's actions instead of putting him to sleep!"
She looked something like that but imagine her head falling forward repeatedly.
