This is Lauren's new sleeping position. She goes to the La Z Boy and starts rocking. Then she slumps over and the next thing we know she is out like a light. I loved this particular pose with her Cinderella dress on and her hands all cupped around her chin.
The funny part is that she totally denies that she has slept. I will ask how her nap was and she says she didn't nap -- she wasn't asleep. I ask her to explain the snoring. She denies it ever happened. Today I took a different tactic.
"So Lauren. Then why didn't you answer when I was asking you if you wanted a cookie? Were you ignoring me? Or were you asleep? Because if you were ignoring me you must not want a cookie but if you were asleep when I asked then I guess you could have one now if you wanted one."
I could see the wheels turning in her head. I finally had her.
Very sheepishly, almost so soft and mumbled that I couldn't hear her, "I was sleeping."
Mark one up for Mom. Lauren finally admitted she was wrong about SOMETHING. I guess cookies are a pretty good truth incentive.

ha. what a sweet little girl. cookies would be a good enough incentive for me too!
My daughter will say the same thing. "I didn't take a nap." We all just smile and say "OK".
what a sweetie! It's fun to see her in that princess dress...I'm glad to see someone else loving it as much as Aliza did!
She is darling and then some.
=)
Love the hands at her face... a pretty little princess, for sure!
What a great picture!
My 14you tries to convince me that he's "not sleeping" too. He's just listening to his music, on his bed, with his eye's closed...yeah, that explains why I had to call 4 times before he responded (groggily--is that a word?). I guess he had that music up really loud
Lauren sounds like a card. carina denies that she has slept too. what is it with our girls that think they know more then mom:)
