We are all sick. Yuck. My poor little guy has been running a fever and I am coughing so often my stomach hurts. With all the coughing I have been doing, it has been impossible to sleep. I caught myself just staring at him. Admiring him. Nowadays this toddler is always rough and tough, so I make sure to cherish these sweet and cuddly moments. His little profile and smooth skin, this kid just makes me melt. Then as I was getting lost in my thoughts, I realized I needed to capture this moment. So I took a few shots and was limited with poses because I didn't want to move him. He tends to be a very light sleeper. Then it made me think how sleeping pictures tends to just gear more towards the Newborn photo shoots, but how sweet is this? It's funny though, in Italy it is considered bad luck to take pictures of people when they are sleeping. Something to do with looking dead? Luckily in this case I am not Italian and my son is only half. So I don't think it applies to us. I now feel a sleeping photograph is a must have of your growing tot, unless your Italian.
