Madison sleeping in a laundry basket

My beautiful granddaughter Madison just loves to visit with her relatives, and yesterday she had the opportunity to visit her Aunt Eleanor - with Cheria and me tagging along of course. And with her being just a little over three months old, it goes without saying that she also enjoys taking a nap on occasion! Well, when we got to Eleanor's house everyone there had to take a turn at holding her, but eventually she decided that it was time for her to catch a few Z's. But there was a problem: Since Eleanor doesn't own a baby bed or any other type of infant sleeping apparatus, there was no safe place for the weary young'un to lay down her pretty little head! But it didn't take long for the gals to put their heads together and come up with a solution... Cheria simply borrowed one of Eleanor's laundry baskets and lined it with a couple of blankets to create an improvised crib, and before you could say "Poor baby!" she was out like a light and dreaming about whatever it is that infants dream about (I used to know but I seem to have forgotten). The little angel was as happy as a lark lying in her perfectly-sized makeshift bed, and apparently she couldn't have cared less that she was taking the place of a load of laundry. After a while she woke up all refreshed and ready to face the world anew... and enjoy another round of being passed from one loving pair of hands to another!   Visit the POTD Archives for previous "Pictures Of The Day"!     Submit a photo of your own!            Why I publish the "Picture of the Day"
