To this point, both of my girls have both managed to be the kind of kids who fight off sleep like champions once they get past the age where all babies fall asleep anywhere. I think they even fought it off in circumstances when most babies wouldn't be able to.
But Cate finally took the high chair nap.
She's still in the in between stage of kind of needing a morning nap but kind of not, so most time we try to keep her occupied so she doesn't take one. Today we went for a walk before lunch to get everyone out of the house and burn off some energy. It had been a slow start to the morning for the parents, so we had a couple restless kids on our hands. Plus, Cate was trying to fall asleep waaaay too early and a walk will keep her awake.
When we got home, it was lunch time. Cate enthusiastically dove in to her lunch. Until sleep slowly took over. So she had a little snooze and, when she woke up about 15 minutes later, she immediately scooped up a grape and went right on eating like she'd never stopped.
My only regret is that I didn't get the big camera out to take a picture of this. Because it's literally never happened before and probably won't happen again.
