“Her parents had already put her to sleep when I arrived, so my job was to keep my eyes glued to the monitor. I watched her wiggle around for awhile. When I checked in on her again, she was on her head!” Mikaela Long, 22, the little girl’s aunt, told InsideEdition.com.
“My first thought was, 'This would happen the one day in 22 years that I decide to babysit,'" she said.
“I did not dare go in her room. I texted her mom the photo, asking if her daughter was broken,” she said. “She assured me that everything's okay and that my niece has been resting on her head a lot lately.”

Others offered some sound wisdom.
