Exhausted children

All parents have sleep stories about their kids... Here Sonja was cranky and upset, so I swaddled her nice and tight, and she calmed down immediately and went to sleep. Snug as a bug in a rug! Those red cheek might mean she's already teething...oh well. It's gotta happen some time I guess...

This happened after Benjamin's first day of Casa Montessori (ages 3-6). He was upgraded from the Toddler group. Although the classroom, teachers and kids were not completely unfamiliar (his toddler teacher had him visit for a couple of weeks prior to upgrading), it is a pretty big change for him, now being the youngest child there. But he likes it a lot, he is happy, and looks forward to going there every morning. BUT, when he comes home, boy is he tired....so tired that he falls asleep on the couch...

...and tries to wake up and continues to sleep sitting up!
