Conked Out

Poor Eve has been a little under the weather with a throat infection, she suddenly went quiet so I went to investigate (quiet children is something parents long for, but once we get it, we know something must be up) and found her asleep in her little chair in the lounge. I did move her, but of course I had to get a quick snap first.

A little angel! I love the ease with which little children let sleep take over.

Ha I love the dish. Looks like it opened its eyed as soon as it knew Eve was asleep.

I love my kids the best when they are asleep. So utterly beautiful and peaceful. That’s a really great shot BTW

Great moment. I love the face on the bowl throwing its eyes up as if to say ‘children will be children’.

Great shot Claire! It never ceases to amaze me how kids can fall asleep anywhere!

I know exactly what you mean. In our house if they fall asleep before 9′o’clock we say “sleep now, pay later!” I hope little Eve is all better. We had that throat infection in our house and it really knocked the kids about. Hope the sunny days have cured her.
