There’s nothing more peaceful than watching your children sleep. But I almost never take any pictures of them… and I lament that fact daily. This poor quality shot doesn’t do their sleepy cuteness justice.
Julia and Sophia co-sleep with us and when I put them to bed at night, they sleep the first few hours with just each other. Most of the time they stay out of each others way, but sometimes I’ll catch them snuggling together.
You’ll notice that Julia is wearing pajamas that are two sizes too small. Those are her beloved Dora pj’s that she received from Santa when she was two. Many nights I have had to endure her temper tantrums that she can’t wear her Dora jammies because they are in the laundry.
For her birthday I went crazy looking everywhere for red Dora pajamas to replace these ones, but I couldn’t find them anywhere.

You’re absolutely right: sleeping babies are the BEST.
Here’s a question for you: did you turn on the light to take that shot? I always want to capture my 2-year-old sleeping, but I worry that the light (of the room or my flash) will wake her…and I certainly don’t want to do that! 😉
P.S. When did your girls start sleeping together?
Ha I didn’t even notice the pj’s were too small until you mentioned it. That’s hilarious! I took a picture of my son sleeping next to me one morning..it’s the sweetest thing in the world, isn’t it?!!
Check eBay for the pajamas!!! There are lots of red ones on there. Maybe if you should them to her and tell her she gets to pick, she might give up the skin-tight ones! 🙂 🙂
My daughter is the same way…loves Dora and has a hard time giving up certain articles of clothing! 🙂
One word: AWWWWWWWWW
Awwwww. Like gold to a mommie’s soul. 🙂
I was the total opposite when my son was small. I took rolls and rolls of pictures.
Aawwww – so sweet even when they’re asleep!
cute!
That is so sweet!
What an adorable picture!!!! Glad to be back among the living in the blog world after being away for a bit.
So sweet!
they are so cute we co sleep with our youngest 2 and they are so sweet to watch when they cuddle 😉
arent’ they just too cute when they are sleeping
They are so adorable! Great shot. I so understand the too small pajamas. I didn’t even really notice at first because I have to make PJs mysteriously disappear around here and then I say, “What’d you do with them when you took them off last time?”
I have mastered the “oh sorry, puzzled mommy look.” LOL!
Oh my…that is too cute!
That is soooo sweet!! I have a picture of my two oldest sons similar to that. I also have a sleeping toddler pic this week too!
They are adorable! I love watching sleeping children.
awww…what sweethearts!
So much better rest when you have a sleeping buddy!
That’s so cute!! Happy WW!
What precious angels.
I love the sibling snuggles!
Very cute!
What a beautiful picture! Such cuties!
They are adorable Susan! 🙂 Happy WW!
Your girls are beautiful and look so peaceful as they slumber.
How sweet! My mom has a couple of cuddling sleeping pics of me and my sister as little girls, and I love them so much!
And wow! Look how long Olivia’s hair is getting!
So cute – my son is outgrowing his favorite pajamas right now – I know he will be none too pleased when he can’t wear them anymore so I’m kind of pretending not to notice. The shirt is unfortunately a button up so it will be retired soon.
I couldn’t agree more. I love pictures of my sleeping little ones, too, but I’m always afraid the “click” or flash will wake them so I don’t want to risk taking too many pictures.
Awww… they are adorable!
Sleeping children are always a beautiful sight (especially after a long & trying day).
isn’t it funny how they just get stuck on something? i can remember wearing a swimsuit when i was her age that was much too small. i literally wore it until it fell apart!

Cute pic. They look so cute together. I remember when my sister & I used to do that. Happy WW!
Awww, how cute! Why do kids have to grow so fast anyhow?
Your girls are beautiful sleepers! Happy WW!
Sooo cute! I love sleeping shots!
Our WW is of a more creepy, icky nature today. Literally, creepy, icky nature.
I LOVE sleeping children pics! Soo sweet! Princess Belle has too small jammies she loves to much to get rid of too.
http://tc-twistedfairytale.blogspot.com/2009/07/wordless-wednesday-my-sunshine.html – mine is up with some sunshine to brighten your day.
Love it when they are asleep! 🙂
I love seeing little siblings sleeping all close to each other…looks so comfy. That picture is so sweet!
They are absolutely adorable!!! Happy WW! 🙂
How precious!
Adorable photo. I feel your pain on kids that love certain outgrown PJs.
Looks like pure relaxation. What a cute picture!
Everyone is sleeping today. Just saw living my charmed life too. 🙂
Lovely little sleeping ladies!! PRECIOUS!
Aw, so cute!!!
Awww…. very sweet
Love it! And yes, some things are not worth the battle, pajamas included!
Have a great day!
Very peaceful!
So cute. I don’t think my girls could fall asleep together like that. My oldest also hs her favorite pajamas, but in her case they are ballerina pajamas.
That is SO sweet!
Oh, too cute! And I have A Diva who wants to wear clothes that are too small just because they are her faves.
I love watching the kids sleep. I never want to take pictures because I’m afraid they’ll wake up (especially the baby)! Lame, I know. I think tonight I’m going to take some pictures.
Love the Dora pjs…and especially how they’re two sizes too small.
Adorable! Happy WW!
Your girls are adorable. I think one is bracing the other 🙂
Cute picture. It looks like your older daughter fell asleep while giving the younger one a massage.
lovely photo… they are so nice to watch.
THAT is too cute for words!!!
I find it so hard to get a decent photo of sleeping kids but you’ve done great!
That is to cute!!!! Happy WW!
My small people sleep together all the time – and they snuggle too – it is just THE BEST!
How sweet 🙂
Looking comfortable and adorable all roll in one! 🙂
We have a couple of ‘nesters’ too, even after all these years.
Cheers
Too cute! When we are away from home, my oldest 2 share a bed. It’s adorable that they find comfort in each other!
So cute – great capture! My little one would already have been wrapped around the other person.. she likes to super cuddle.
How sweet! I love when my boys sleep like that too 🙂
Awwww they are both adorable! I have the same issues with my girls as far as their favorite old PJ’s! lol I hope you find some new ones soon! 🙂
I love sleeping baby/kids pictures! I have tons of those, lol.
Sleeping babies…one of the wonders of the world!!
How precious!! I have several sleepy-time pics of my daughter and I treasure them!
(You might try to find some plain red jammies and applique the old Dora on the front of them.)

So precious 🙂
Happy W/W!
aww so precious! Love it 🙂
Beautiful photo. I love how her hands are resting on her sister’s back. Too sweet! I love sneaking into my son’s room to take a peek at him sleeping. When he was a baby and would smile in his sleep, my mom said angels were whispering to him. He’s four and still smiles in his sleep. I believe the angels are whispering to him. Take care and happy WW.

What sweet little ones. How cute that she loves those PJs so much that she will continue to wear them, no matter how small they are. I think we all had something like that. For me, it was a Rainbow Bright T-Shirt. :o)
How precious!
I’ve taken so many pictures of my children sleeping you’d think that’s ALL they do! But really, is there a better time to get such adorable shots? 🙂
So sweet! Happy WW!
I understand the Dora PJs! My 2yo was given a hand-me-down Dora nightgown (size 4), which she did not want to pack away and save until she was 4! She wears it whenever it is clean–she is wearing it as she sleeps tonight.
Precious, precious shot!
Nothing else to say but awwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
OMG! How sweet! Poor quality or not, this picture is priceless.
Luv the sleeping pictures of any child…too sweet!
so very sweet! I just wanna snuggle in!
Oh, that is the sweetest thing. I love sleepy kid pics 😀
I could watch kids sleep all the time….they are too cute!! best time of the day, huh?
Aww, so sweet! And I expect a similar struggle when Becca outgrows her Dora jammies too. 🙂
Oh my gosh. That is so cute. Love photos of kids sleeping.
Aw, what a precious photo.
My little man is who he is and he makes no bones about it. His fashion blunders crack me up, but he loves it! That’s all that matters. Have a great WW, everyone!

How ADORABLE!
Adorable 🙂
Such a sweet photo!
