She can't hang

This is what 6 hours of school does to poor Avery:


She actually fell asleep in my lap yesterday afternoon. I was trying my damnedest to keep her awake, really. I put her on my lap and we were watching and singing along to music videos on cmt.com. Then suddenly, she just couldn't take it... she leaned her head over on my chest and started drooling.

I did NOT want the child sleeping, because napping makes bedtime a nightmare. So after a few minutes, I picked her up and forced her to stand on her own two feet. She squealed and ran about five steps away from me before crumpling into a heap on the floor (pictured above). And that's how she stayed until we shook her awake for dinner an hour later.

And, yes, bedtime was a nightmare. I give up.
