Travel weary tyke

So a freshly-minted 5-year old on her way to Africa just won't go to sleep on the first leg of the flight - even on the red-eye. Who knew? She valiantly explored Amsterdam with us, and then collapsed as we've never seen her do. In the middle of the busy square where we paused, her head went down, eyes closed, and she was done! Andrew lugged her dead weight back to the train, and she was appropriately alert for the leg on to Africa the next morning.
