I swear she is tired, she fell asleep 5 minutes ago while I was standing in a house down the street at Achievement Days (I am the junior leader), yet she cries when I bring her to her own house, her own sage-green painted room, her own comfortable crib.
I swear she's tired, she fell asleep while I was holding her, in a room teeming with 10 year old girls - that kind of thing only happens when she's desperate.
She's tired, 5 minutes ago we were getting ready to go, I was waiting for the girls to clean up so I could give rides home - she has a habit of falling asleep 5-10 minutes before we arrive at a destination, before sacrament meeting ends, before it's time to go, - it's her trademark. But usually she'll return to sweet slumber once we get settled again.
She slept for about 2 minutes before it was time to walk out the door, and when the cold november air hit her, she roused, opened her eyes and patiently waited for me to put her in her car seat. Yet when we got home, she refused to be put down quietly.
Has she already determined that she can skip this nap, like she did yesterday (church is from 2-5, we are in nursery)?
She can sit herself down now, tenderest of mercies, she no longer has to wail for me to come and lower her bum the 6 inches that she couldn't do herself, so if she is tired (and I swear she is), she can solve that problem.
I swear, she's tired! what else can be done!?
oh. she's quiet.
oh. she's asleep.
See I told you she was tired.

SHE CAN SIT DOWN!!!
Excellent post. Poetic, dramatic, victorious.
You should write illustrated books, especially about Anna...
It took me a while to realize that Anna is in the second picture. Oh, and don't worry, we are still kidnapping her.
After seeing that last picture, I wasn't sure if this post was about you or her. Other than the whole learning-to-sit-down and comfortable-crib thing.
That was nicely done. And way to own the situation, Anna.
