Beautiful Dreamer - Me watching my little girl sleeping
All the time and it often gets me teary-eyed lol. You never really understand what unconditional love is until you have a child of your own. I watch her sleep and I literally see what my purpose on this earth is, to be her mom.

Mine are teens too and yes I have to admit, I still do watch them sleep from time to time. My oldest will be graduating from high school at the end of the year, so I have to make the most of the time I have left with him living under my roof and that includes mom sneaking peaks of him sleeping so soundly.

When they were babies, I would watch them sleep for a really long time. But I have seven children, so when they sleep...its kinda nice. ha ha However, one of my children had sleep apnea until last year. I would watch him sleep just to be sure that he would breathe. It got very scarey!!!!

Yes, even if he's been grumpy all day he still looks like an angel when hes asleep, and it is all worth it again!

I don't hover over them and watch them sleep but I do check in on them and every once in a while they will have such a lovely angelic content look that I do pause and give thanks that I have many blessings to be thankful for (they are all happy, healthy children 4, 7, 16 and 18)
