Sleeping Quirks

The other night I was cleaning the kitchen hoping Olivia was asleep and thought I better check on her. She wasn't in her bed, in her closet or under her bed. I had a little panic and started searching other people's beds that she might have sneaked into. There she was in the game closet fast asleep. Now this may seem strange, but it's not for Olivia. First of all the game closet is also the blanket closet, so it's nice and soft, and she loves to sleep in her own closet better than her bed. I think she likes how enclosed it feels like her crib, that we put away. Last night I was putting her to bed and said, "Where do you want to sleep and she said "Coset." We leave it open, but she packs it with blankets her pillow,books and toys. It's a joke how packed it can get. Besides Natalie and her tent, I've only had one other kid with sleeping quirks, I guess two. Anna on many occasions would fall asleep with books on her face. Katelyn has never required a lot of sleep, so her's is trying to get to sleep before 11:00pm.

 I wanted to include this picture of Natalie's new dress because I bought the fabric last spring when I was feeling inspired while shopping with Melinda. She has a way a making you think you can sew. Jeff's mom ended up sewing  it for me.
