[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 13405, member: 1991"] We have a photo of easy child at about age 6, asleep in the bathtub, She was on her tummy, too - head turned to one side, face pillowed on the porcelain. Not drugged, just exhausted. The thing is, if they're old enough to have the strength to sit up by themselves and not too artificially sedated to totally suppress their breathing reflex, they should be OK. Still, it is scary. What will you do when he's too old to let you in the bathroom with him, out of modesty? Dreamer, you said your son is a sleepwalker, sleep bather etc - difficult child 1 sleeps SO soundly, that his eyes partly open. It's really creepy. he's been away on camps and had people talking to him in the night, certain that he was awake and listening to them because his eyes were open - and he was sound asleep! difficult child 3 is also a bit like that, just not so extreme. And easy child would sleep almost anywhere - another of our classic photos was from another very tired night. We got home late and tried to send her to bed. She announced, "I'm not tired!" then promptly curled up in the rocking chair (on her tummy again, somehow) and fell soundly asleep. husband wrote "I'm not tired!" on a card, leant it against her and took the photo. Then there's the time that she crawled halfway out of bed, head on the floor and legs still in the bed, and slept that way. Yep - photo of that, too. And MY warning - those of you with incriminating photos like this of your kids - get them scanned well before your kid's coming of age birthday party, or the kid will swipe your only copies to avoid you embarrassing them with photos at their party. And that's a parent's job - to embarrass their kids! It's what makes all this struggle worthwhile! Marg [/QUOTE]
