Haila Asleep at the Plate

So the kids have had the runny noses off and on the past few weeks, but Haila's had been worse the past few days so Deven (Haila's mommy for those who don't know) called the doctor and they said to give her Pedicare to help. So being the good Nannie that I am, I gave it to her with her lunch yesterday so that she could get a good nap and help with the crankiness of not feeling good. Well, you know that warning on many bottles of medicine that say "May cause excitability, especially in children" - well that was Haila after I gave it to her. After 30 minutes of listening to her talk and carry on in the nap room, I went to get her and rock her, or so I thought. She had the crazy eyes, you know the ones, hopped up on drugs and not the least bit sleepy? She kept "growling" behind her pacifier, talking, moving, etc....she was SO NOT tired. Anyway, she finally calmed down enough so that I could put her in the bed, but then she only got an hour nap, which made for a long afternoon. So I decided NOT to give her medicine and just tough out the runny nose this morning and I think she crashed...this picture was taken when Cheyenne screamed from the kitchen (as the boys and I were picking up toys) "Nannie, Haila is tired of waiting for you, she's sleeping!" Sure enough, she was passed out, fork still in hand. I cleaned her up, changed her diaper, took her shoes off, laid her down in the crib and never saw her eyes....TOO CUTE!
