Slumber Land

This dear daughter of mine, once she is in deep slumber, nothing can wake her up. No amount of cajoling, tickling, shoving we do is able to awaken her.

She ALWAYS dozes off even before she finishes her milk. In an effort to wake her, we have tried and tested many methods - playing with her, tickling her chin, her cheeks, moving her hands and legs, changing our positions so that she gets jolted, even gently shaking her.

But all attempts are futile. Like the Titanic song "and my heart, will go on and on...", Karyn just "sleeps on and on...".

Check out her various sleeping positions.

My personal favourite is the one in which her whole body is slanted to one side, not aligned with her nappy "pillow" (see top right hand corner picture).

Actually we always put her straightly perpendicular to the pillow. And she'll start off sleeping straight. But in no time at all, after numerous stretching (particularly her arms and legs), she always ends up slanted. Worst of all, she can even slant all the way until her body is parallel to the pillow.

Such a pity I haven't got a chance to take a picture of that yet. Wait till I do. And I'll post it up. Hehe...
