When Amalia was little, on a couple occasions, she would get so upset that she'd run into the bathroom and lock the door. Mommy and daddy, in a stressful state, would worry about her doing something that might lead to injury. Thankfully that never happened. Though it only happened a couple of time we realized that we could lie down on the floor just outside the bathroom and use the reflection of the floor to see into the bathroom where, to our surprise, we saw a cute little girl having fallen asleep in the shower area. She did this until she woke up - now over her stress - and came out as if nothing had happened. Since then the girls have fallen asleep in all sorts of places: On airplane floors, on hospital floors (after several-hour tantrums), on boats, on table tops, in book cabinets, in supermarket trolleys, on people's couches, in tents, and even a few feet from hundred meter cliffs.
Some of those times they are worth taking pictures of (as long as we have the presence of mind to do so) and so the above pictures are from the times we've done just that. A little here, a little there, sleep is essential, no? This post is for the years of spontaneous naps we've gone through, and the for the many yet to come. :-)
