A Rare Day {St George, NB Child Photographer}

Last night there was very little sleep happening in the Bagley household (and that is not exactly a new phenomena), Kathleen was sick the flu and was miserable. I have always taught my children that they need to share (and this rarely if ever, happens) and Kathleen remembered this lesson. She rembered well  by wailing during the middle of the night and sharing her misery with us.

Our house was a bit reminiscent of a zombie movie as we were all kind of like zombies from so few hours of sleep.

This afternoon the lack of sleep caught up with Kathleen. She finally needed to crash after a morning full of temper tantrums and more wailing. She grabbed her brother’s infamous Brown Bear and curled on the couch. This is the child who stopped napping at 2 years old (and how I mourned the loss of these naps! She gathered her Care Bear quilt, took her glasses off and declared she would have a ‘little’ sleep. Within minutes silence enveloped the house and all I could hear was the quiet and even breathes from her her tired and sick little body. Watching her sleep made me a little sad. This tiny girl was growing up fast. Days of naps were well behind us and this was a rare day. For a few minutes I could stare openly at her, and I took advantage of her stillness by snapping a few images. Because goodness knows when this moment will happen again.
