Sleeping Beauty

Kenley was sound asleep this morning.Usually she is up around 630 or 645 at the latest but this morning at 7am she was still sound asleep. I peeked in and she looked adorable. I decided that would be my picture of the day. It looked like such a peaceful sleep. I watched her for a few minutes and then went downstairs to get the camera. I consciously turned the flash off so it wouldn't wake her and crept quietly back into her room again admiring the sleeping beauty curled up with her blanket. But of course, just as I went to take the picture.....

Lesson learned: It's hard to catch a sleeping child. She will wake up and the look you get won't be so peaceful. (However if you promise a little Mickey Mouse while you get dressed, the smiles come back quickly!)
