for the longest time ever i wondered if my childoo would ever fall asleep by herself. first the doo doo business... (which went on for 22.5 months!) then the music from my phone... then the story reading... she would always want me by her side to fall asleep... the thapp thapp... the "run your fingers in my hair, mamma".... then one fine day when she was about to turn 4, she was so tired from nursery that she collapsed on the bean bag while half standing!!!! if your baby gives you a hard time to sleep - pls hang in there. they fall asleep on their own one fine day :) [ps: #thenineyearold now reads in bed before sleeping! and yes, she knows i have shared her pix here :) ] has your childoo ever fallen asleep in a funny position? pls share your pix as well!!!!
