She went to sleep!

We've always swaddled Poppy for her naps and overnight, and we always get her to sleep by either nursing, bouncing on an exercise ball, or rocking.

But today when it was time for Lolli to go down for her nap, she insisted that Poppy go, too. I've never napped them in the same room before, and I had no idea how to get them both to sleep at the same time.

So I swaddled up Poppy and fed her while I was telling Lolli her naptime story, hoping Poppy would fall asleep. No such luck. But to keep Lolli from throwing a fit (and because I myself was curious as to what would happen), I put Poppy in her crib wide awake. She was struggling against her swaddle, so I opened it up for her.

I heard them "talking" to each other for a couple minutes and then it got quiet. I thought for sure that something awful had happened to Poppy, because surely she wouldn't just go to sleep like that. Lolli didn't do that until she was 11m, 5d old, and even then she was in a room BY HERSELF, not with a toddler.

Here's what I found when I went to check!

She's perfectly fine, just zonked out! And Lolli is sound asleep, too! I'm so shocked right now LOL And kinda giddy :) If it happened once, that means it might happen again in the future, right?!? Woohoooo!

PS - That looks so uncomfortable, but I'd hate to wake her up and ruin this good thing I've got going on!
