76/365 Eyes Almost Closed

by admin on August 24, 2010

It’s probably from the flash. But still, I love these sorts of photos, where her face is so still. Rare, apart from sleeping and momentarily blinded by flash photos.

Or it could be from sheer exhaustion. Although we did sleep in until 8 this morning. Yes, total heaven. It was a no napping day. And she powered through until crashing for the night, somewhat reluctantly at 5:30. Getting her to crash AND sleep through is all about getting her into bed before she actually goes to sleep. Somewhat challenging, because in the afternoon, unless I’m watching her like a hawk, I’ll turn around and she’ll be fast asleep on the couch.

I might have been a hard-ass about her getting in bed when I knew she was about ready to sleep. And she might have been so annoyed at this that she told me in no uncertain terms to “go away” once she was in bed. Totally worth it though. She has a nice, unbroken sleep. And I actually got to potter around the house for a bit before dinner. I can’t even remember the last time I did that.

    That is lovely Zoey. I remember those times when you were that age, such a change from the past 2 years. Hope you get more of that, you will need it I’m sure.
