One after one; the sound of rain, and bees
Murmuring; the fall of rivers, winds and seas,
Smooth fields, white sheets of water, and pure sky -
I've thought of all by turns, and still I lie
Sleepless..."
~William Wordsworth, "To Sleep"

| A sleepless night with my little one - seeing him finally at rest, makes it all worth it. |

Coming Soon - My Weekly Linkup...
I'm going to start a weekly linkup and am looking for some feedback from my readers before I set it all up! I'd like to call it "Quotables" - pick a favourite quote of the week - it can be a quote by a famous figure, something funny your kids have said, lyrics from a favourite song, anything you've heard or read that has inspired your post. Quote, post, and link up! Let me know your thoughts, I'm a newbie looking for feedback!
Linked up for Wordless Wednesday with:
Why do they look especially sweet when they are sleeping? I guess it's because we can sit and stare at them and admire and love and cherish them... all without them climbing all over us, whining or crying, asking us for stuff, demanding to be fed...and all those other things that go with children who are awake! LOL Beautiful picture :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

A sleeping child looks so peaceful...that is until they wake up!
ReplyDeleteI think Quotables is a great idea for a link-up. I have not come across one like that before. Love the new look by the way! :)
I agree, so sweet!
ReplyDeleteAwww that picture is beautiful!!! I love your link-up idea. I love quotes! I'll be participating!
ReplyDeleteAw, such a sweet picture!
ReplyDeleteLove your new look here, and that is a great idea for a link-up! You could count me in :)
you are braver than me! I wouldn't have risked the pic if mine was finally asleep! LOL
ReplyDeleteLove the Wordsworth quote - he's one of my fave poets! So I guess that means - Yes - do the weekly linky.
What a darling! Sleep time is such a wonderful time to view my son too.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny - looking at this photo my thought was, hmm, he's not yet in a deep sleep - maybe about to wake? - then I read your text about your sleepless night. So glad he went to sleep. Isn't it funny how you as a mom thought it was such a huge event you photographed it? Because when they FINALLY do nod off...it IS a big event!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetie! I love pics of sleeping kids - so sweet and serene. I like your idea for the link-up. I hope to join in - what day were you thinking? My issue is there are so many great link-ups, and so little time!
ReplyDeleteI leave the blog world for a week and ppl change their blogs. LOL
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. But, there is a need of even more pics of you -- the hot mama behind. :-)
