August 25, 2012 - April 16, 2011

Welcome to Eliza's Random Sleeping Spots. For the last year and a half I've been documenting on Facebook the completely random places my daughter, Eliza, falls asleep in her attempts to fight taking a nap - a battle she's been waging since was 18 months old. Each post on Facebook is entitled Today's Crash and features the date and location of each narcoleptic moment. Recently, my friend, Evan, suggested I start a blog and catalog these all in one place. Given that I intend on embarrassing the hell out of her in 10 years with these at her bat mitzvah, I thought it was a good idea (that and I'm not so sure Facebook will be here in 10 years either). 

I have no idea how much longer these crashes will continue but I will post them here as long as she has them. The following are all of them dating back to April of 2011 until today. They go from most recent to the first one, so you may want to read from the bottom up.

August 25, 2012 (Part II) in the kitchen
After waking up from the table in the playroom, Eliza moved to the kitchen where she complained about how dinner didn't smell good and then laid down. The rest is history.



August 25, 2012 (Part I) in the playroom

This was probably the result of 6 hours of sleep the night before, a morning birthday party followed by 2 hours in the pool.


August 18, 2012 in the playroom


August 4, 2012 at Target


July 29, 2012 in the playroom
In her birthday suit. Modesty pillow added by Mommy (there is actually a limit to how much I'll embarrass her one day at her bat mitzvah).


May 19, 2012 in the kitchen


February 25, 2012 (Part I) on Mommy
After getting up from under the dining room table (see next photo), she crawled in my lap and went back to sleep.

December 26, 2011 in the playroom
On the trashed green chair


December 17, 2011 in her bedroom
So tired, she tried putting herself down for a nap in her own bed, but didn't quite make it.


December 3, 2011 at Temple Israel (Upland, CA)
10 minutes into my niece's bat mitzvah reception

September 24, 2011 in the living room
Snow White channeling her inner Sleeping Beauty. Shout out to her friend, Jillian, for throwing one bitchin' and exhausting princess party.


September 17, 2011 in the kitchen
This one occurred after a 30-minute meltdown about the fact that all the purple cups were in the dishwasher. Apparently milk doesn't taste the same from a pink cup.


September 5, 2011 in the hallway
She actually fell asleep in the car and was carried into her bed. About 10 minutes later I found her here. She apparently needed to crash on her own terms.
