...but I call it outwitting my child.
Today Lily has been so sad. Everything we do to try to make her happy just seems to make it worse. I know she's teething. She has a cold. She probably just feels rotten and it's so sad. The poor thing is exhausted, but whenever I put her down to try to get her to sleep she just cries...that sad, sad someone please come save me cry. I know the difference between the save me cry and the I'm just being a stinker cry. This was definitely the save me cry and I can't ignore that one. SO. You know what I did? I made muffins which she loves, put her in the highchair, and kept those muffins coming until she konked out in the chair. It only took two (rather large ones)- so that's not so bad, right? And besides that, they were zucchini muffins. Vegetables! SO healthy (only 3 cups of sugar). Who am I convincing? No one. But she's asleep. She was so happy in her little muffin paradise picking off every last crumb off of the paper.
Now she's sound asleep covered in muffin crumbles and I think I've decided to let her nap it out right there. I'm not risking waking this baby for nothin'.

Ohh, I remember those days! They can be rough:( I wouldn't have moved her either... By the way, your family pictures are beautiful, and I love the new layout on your blog. So cute!

I would have done the same. I can't how many times my kids feel asleep in the high chair. I could sometimes move them, but for the same reason you didn't you needed a moment of peace. I am glad I was able to take the other two swimming today with Parker and Madison.

At least you are giving your baby vegetables (in a a round about way.) I've been giving Caroline M&M's to get us through the teething can't stop crying times. I am the bad mom. I hope you enjoyed a few minutes of deserved peace and quiet.

Carrie, your photos are just mouthwatering! I can see the one of your whole family in a big (DI refinished)frame over your piano or on the big wall coming in your front door. Ooo, I'm sorry for Lily unhappiness, but way excited for Lily teeth!! I really, really love the new blog look. Congrats!
