My children are both good sleepers (PTL!) but so different in their ways. Peter often falls asleep in the car (near naptime) and always transfers well to bed. Lily is my amazing nighttime sleeper but she doesn't fall asleep as easily in the car and usually rouses when I bring her in, then goes back to sleep. Today was a different story. They both fell asleep on the way home from the store and Lily stayed asleep in my arms- oh, my heart!... a sleeping love in my arms! (and don't even get me going on the site of her legs in tights.)
And the boy, he is so big and heavy that I can hardly hold him for long but some of my sweetest memories are of just sitting on the living room couch and holding him while he slept after coming in from the car (when he was a smaller boy, before Lily was our girl), then taking him up to bed.
FYI:
I purposefully didn't crop to be realistic about the mess that is often my house.
