Yesterday the boys went to a birthday party for their very good friend from preschool. The family was lovely and gracious and very accommodating to Asher's needs, plus the boys had a ton of fun and really great behaviour. I'd call that complete success! It's not the party that's noteworthy however, so much as the aftermath.
I brought the boys in from the car and put Asher on the couch while I gathered the rest of the stuff. Asher was quiet for a minute so I didn't rush in to see him, but I definitely went back within 4 or 5 minutes - and in that short period of time this is what I found:
Zonked! I left him to snooze but didn't want to affect bedtime so after a few minutes picked him up in an effort to wake him. No go. So I decided I should probably just settle in and enjoy this for a few minutes because it happens so rarely these days (Rio the photographer says I look weird. So apparently you should focus on Asher, not me):
After a few more minutes of dead-to-the-world sleep like this, I decided I really had to wake him or I'd pay the price later with some sort of circus animal routine at bed time. This is what ensued after I tried to sit him up on my lap:
The funny thing is, this went on for a long time before I even started recording. That kid was OUT. And yes, I know I'm probably a mean mom to have recorded that and shared it, but is he cute or what?!! (The correct answer is "Yes, very very cute" in case you weren't sure).
Poor guy! So tired but mom won't let him sleep ;) And what eyelashes!!!
