Sleepy Head

There is something very special about a sleeping child. It's not just that the kid is finally asleep and now the house is quiet for a little while, but a sleeping child is serene and lovely. There are tender moment as you hold your sleeping new born, scary moments after nightmare, funny times when he talks in his sleep or you find her but sticking up in the air (Ruffley butt tights and all :)
Some times I sneak into the boy's room and I hold one of them for a few minutes, just to hear them breath, to feel their warmth, and have a few minutes of squirm free cuddle time. I must admit I get as much comfort from them at times as they get from me.
I want to create a sleep book for my kids. A collection of my favorite sleep pictures. I will put poems, stories, or sayings with each picture. I hope it will be a soothing night time book, but also a look at how they have grown and a reminder of how they were. I will have to really pick and choose, I have so many I would make it a novel if I didn't narrow it down to my favorites. There are all the new born pictures from the time when all they did was sleep, cute poses in the crib, funny little positions, the transfer from crib to bed, there are so many already, how will I ever choose. Here are a few of my favorites.This is one of my favorite from when Glen was a newborn. He and his cousin fell asleep right next to each other.
Glen when he is about two. He learned to take off his PJ's
I love it when they fall asleep eating. (Benjamin about 7 months)
Benjamin could sleep anywhere (6 months)
Benjamin didn't like moving to the crib, he stood up and cried until he got too tired and fell asleep like this. (9 months)
When Benjamin was a newborn we thought the light bugged him so we made him this pillow tent for him to sleep in.
Glen loves his new bed. (two years)
Glen fell asleep hugging his "eyeball car" The first night he fell asleep clutching two horse books, but I couldn't find my camera. (two years)Nap time, he pretty much played til he dropped. (two years)

Benjamin played til he dropped. (3 months)
