There is something so wonderful about sleeping children. Aside form the obvious reasons, (
finally they're still and quiet) they're faces are just so beautifully relaxed.
I think it's safe to say that adults don't relax as much when asleep. I think we're aware of the limits that our larger bodies require. If we were to spread out that much we would quickly run out of bed. Or maybe it's just that kids expend so much energy playing, learning, absorbing, assimilating that when they sleep, they
sleep.
I think I can remember sleeping that hard, before I had kids. It's funny how that happens. It used to be that once I was asleep nothing could wake me up. I remember being concerned when I was pregnant with Emily that I might not wake up to her crying at night. Then she was born and it seemed that with the slightest noise I was awake. It seems like I always hear the girls in the night long before Christoph does. Maybe he's just better at ignoring them. :) Anyway, I love watching my girls sleep.

How precious they are when they sleep! I used to tiptoe and gaze at my kids, too! They look so innocent then! They're so precious! Love, Mom
