But then again, so does Momma.
Yesterday The Dormouse fell asleep in the car on the way to church and I was obliged to carry all forty pounds of her into the building and then plop her down on the pew with her head on my lap. She snuggled up until her head was bent at a ninety degree angle and then put her feet up on the diaper bag sitting on the pew until her feet were also at a ninety degree angle and her body looked like the letter "V". She slept like that for another twenty minutes.
The Caterpillar, on the other hand, fits much more nicely into your arms, but even in her sleep she never stops moving and will, little by little, squirm in your grasp until she has worked herself out of your grip and you are now holding her by a leg and one ear. If you try to reposition her or put her in the car seat for easier portability, she will wake up.
I'm wondering if there's some sort of award out there for the Most Awkward Sleeping Positions. Maybe a little known Guiness catagory? Because if there is? These girls would win it, hands down.

I'm always in awe of the contortions kids and animals can sleep in. If I slept in any of those positions, I'd never walk upright again.

Love the huge blog she's on too.

Yeah, I don't know HOW kids sleep the way they do! They should all be yoga gurus.

Oh hell...I mean 'blob!' I think I've gotten into blogging too mucy. My finger won't type anything else.

That's "blogging too much."
