Sleeping Kiddos

I went to check on my nephew a few minutes after he told me he was going to take a nap this afternoon {yes, you read that right} and this is what I found:

Gives a whole new meaning to falling asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow!

And then, Belle was playing in the cabinet today—and though she didn’t actually fall asleep, she held still {!!!} like this for several minutes. A little rest was apparently all she needed—she hit the ground running after this little break.

And after taking those two pictures, it reminded me of this picture from last week. Jackson will do ANYTHING to keep himself from falling asleep for a nap. Despite my attempts to keep all writing objects out of the hands of my children, he can always find a pen {sometimes a permanent marker, but that came from Derek’s stuff- not mine!} and he will draw on his cheeks and the tops of his hands.

Oh, sleeping kiddos—you’re so peaceful and cute!
