If there's one parenthood experience that's universally shared by all parents, it's the test of the sleeping baby — and when that baby allows you to get some sleep, too. We've reported before on some new parent sleeping trends, like how to leave a room when the baby is sleeping. As our own Rebecca Endicott wrote, "If you’re a parent, an aunt, an uncle, or a one-time babysitter, you know one thing to be true. Nothing, including Olympic-level gymnastics or baking a soufflé, requires as much complex, delicate maneuvering as trying to escape a sleeping baby." But this young mom's predicament is a horse of a different color. She reminds us that nap time isn't always a mutually agreed upon activity between parents and their curious babies. In the video's description, she writes:
“Every morning my baby sleeps in my bed with me for a couple hours after she wakes up to eat. And every morning I ask myself why I didn’t just put her back in her crib….so this morning I grabbed my cellphone and recorded what my baby alarm clock looks like. I think I’m not alone in this…”
I don’t think she’d be too far off in assuming she’s not alone, either. If this video made you smile, SHARE it with all the parents you know on Facebook and be sure to tell us your baby nap stories in the comments below.
