11/13/16: Like all new moms, Laura Izumikawa has heard 100 times or more than you sleep when baby sleeps. But Izumikawa had a better idea. A MUCH better idea.
When her daughter, little Joey Marie Choi, conks out for a nap, her very creative mother swings into action. She has created one of the most entertaining Instagrams I’ve ever seen, dressing up her unconscious baby as everything from Princess Leia to Pikachu to Slash as she sleeps. I wish I’d had the forethought to do that, though my littlest was a baby when Polaroids were enjoying their FIRST wave of popularity. (She’s 26 now, and is no doubt glad Instagram wasn’t a thing when she was wee. I would have been all over that!)
