FRODO SEVEN : Kittens

Thursday, February 26, 2009

When our cat Benny lived with us, I would find him asleep in the oddest places. I always took a picture. I think my favorite is the one where he was snoozing inside one of our taped-up moving boxes. Another is of him sleeping alongside baby Grace.

Coincidentally, I also find our girls asleep in places other than their beds. Sophie especially likes to sneak off to curl up with Harriet and pa. Yesterday morning, I looked around and she was gone. It was early so I didn't think she could be asleep. I found her in her room. She had put one of their large, pink princess pillows in the toy box and was sleeping on top of it. She woke up to ask me to take the noisy thing out of the toy box--she'd been laying on our Fisher Price Zoo that has a very rambunctious monkey. I took it out and she continued her nap. I really think she might be a kitten.

Poor Mia--her teacher must be a slave-driver

I wish I could have taken this from a better angle. Grace dumped out the dress-up box and pulled it up to the top bunk so she could sleep in it. Why? No idea. So Grace.

Tired princess. Here she really looks like a kitten to me.

Exhausted musical genius

The girls often end up in our bed. Lucky me--they get in on Chris' side.

Ella loves her Elizabeth. She can be completely awake and as soon as I put Elizabeth against her cheek, her eyes go to half mast and she's ready for bed. I have a great picture somewhere of her asleep in her high chair--all of the Doyle girls have at least one of those.

Sleeping wee ones -- is there anything more beautiful? Especially for harrassed moms?

So cute- Anya has decided that her blanket is really her lovey- so although I give her her monkey to snuggle before bed...every morning I find her all wrapped up like a bug in her blanket. She used to fall asleep in her bumbo all the time too- that was pretty cute...now she won't even sleep on mommy- sad.

I can't wait to see all those "kittens" in a few months- they're too cute...where's Madeleine's sleeping pic? My favorite memory of her as a little one was when Mom brought her home early from Spain so you could pack up and she woke up in the middle of the night crying and I took her to bed with me (I didn't sleep well that night but my Munchkin did!).
