A glimpse of the teenager to come

At three-and-a-half years (give or take), Gabriel is still blessedly in daily-nap land. On weekends, you can pretty much count on him to go down at 2 PM and sleep until 4:30, sometimes later. (Weekdays at Mundo Verde, my understanding is that they schedule between 1 and 1.5 hours, and that many (including Gabriel) don't really sleep during this time.)

But every few days now, the scheduled nap doesn't happen, usually because we've got an unusually busy travel schedule. The embedded picture shows a tall tree falling hard after an afternoon birthday party. He was conked out on the couch, lights on, shoes on, for at least half an hour in this pose.
