Why is it that bedtime seems to give some kids a second wind? This little one looks ready and refreshed, whereas poor Dad looks totally wiped out.
Sit down, baby!
Looks like someone would rather have a staring contest than go to sleep. We love that this kid knows exactly where to look. He's no doubt trying to guilt Mom or Dad into giving him a brief reprieve.

No time for napping.
Who's got time for sleep when these animals provide so much entertainment? Even though this little one is supposed to be napping, you have to love the imaginative impromptu playtime. It's great when a child can entertain herself.
