Daylight savings has caused havoc to Ellie's sleeping schedule. Right now she is having a very difficult time with her nap. I am having a hard time not making her take a nap. A little bit of a power struggle going on here over this if you can't tell. Anyway, the other day Ellie won and she didn't take a nap. Around 4 pm we headed over to Home Depot to order some new windows and pick up some paint for this weekends project... painting the master bedroom! Well... it seemed like a LONG car ride over to Home Depot because Ellie was a bit cranky because she hadn't taken her nap. By the end of the ride. it was quiet.. and Ellie had fallen asleep! I was shocked. This is not a little girl that easily falls asleep in the car. Anyway... that was the least shocking of the following experience. I was torn as to what to do.... should I drive right back home and put her to bed... or do I actually wake her up and continue with my shopping trip? I decided I need to get the shopping done and decided to pick her up and see what happened. I took her out of the car seat and she stayed asleep. I walked into home depot holding Ellie in my arms and pushing a shopping cart... the speakers at Home Depot blaring their various announcements... still Ellie didn't even restle in my arms... unbelievable. I go to the window department... still with Ellie in my arms... sit down with the Home Depot guy... go through the entire order... still asleep. Now by this time and was getting a bit tired attempting to hold her with one arm and push the cart with the other and I still had a bit of shopping to do. I had a dilemma....should I actually put my sleeping child inside the shopping cart and let her continue to sleep...I had seen it done before but should I actually do it and the real question was... would she actually stay asleep? I tried it..... and the following is proof of the story that no one in my family would ever believe.
I continued to shop for 30 more minutes while Ellie slept peacefully in the cart.
