I Heart Nap Time

A gentleman once told me that God made babies so adorable because they could be so gosh darned annoying at times. He gave them chubby hands and long eyelashes and sweet cheeks so that when they keep us up all night or cry endlessly for no reason, we’d tolerate it because they are so irresistible.

He was right. When I look at his sweet little face as he sleeps, nothing he does while he is awake seems that bad.

  • Whoever told you that was a wise man. Even when my daughter pushes every button I have during her waking hours, once she’s asleep she’s just so peaceful that everything is right with the world.

  • Positively angelic!

  • Donna

    He’s so angelic! And look at those lashes!

  • Mellisa

    Just precious!

  • What a sweet photo. Gavyn will be 11 this year and still looks like a toddler when he sleeps. I could stare at him for hours!

  • Tammy

    AGREED! Even when they are teenagers the same sentiment applies 🙂

  • Heather!

    Oh, those lashes! Ah, those lips! ♥

  • What an awesome photo. Sleeping babies are just precious.

  • When they are asleep they look so sweet it makes you miss them… then they get up whiney & you wish they were still napping…lol

  • Such a beautiful photograph, Penelope!! And I love your cute little watermark!

  • He’s so cute! &I have WAY too many photos of my son sleeping for the same reason. I don’t get how the little boy who literally runs in circles around our kitchen for hours can turn into the peaceful cherub at night.

    Children are Dr Jekyl and Mr Hydes, lol 🙂

  • I love when my “babes” are asleep. Lochlan has been crawling in bed with us lately, not sure why. But when I wake up in the morning and see him with his eyes closed and long lashes … its just so sweet.

  • so incredibly sweet. I love nap time too but when I see them sleeping so angelic like this it makes me want to wake them up to play… then I regret it, lol.

  • Now that is some serious truth.

    I love watching kids sleep. They look so angelic.

  • Sheryl Mae

    An angel! I just can’t stop staring at the photo.

  • Oh my gosh just soo precious and love your watermark!!

  • He couldn’t have been more right. Even now I will go in and watch my boys asleep and all the frustration of the day melts away as I realize how lucky I am to be their mom.

  • I have always enjoyed when my children take a nap too.

  • Such a little angel!

  • Naps are wonderful! I just wish mine still took them!

  • Oh, my SWOON … those lashes!

    (love your new watermark)

  • What an amazing photo Penelope!

  • Jennifer The Quirky Momma
