I think most of the world would agree that there is nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby. Just seeing them resting, safe and relaxed, is a little miracle to enjoy every day.
At Butterfly Home, we can't ever forget the traumatic stories some of our children have. They are very sick children, often shattered by recent abandonment. Its nearly impossible for them to find rest. When they arrive, their sleep is usually fractured and tense. Their little bodies are wracked with pain and their hearts are confused. For some children, even breathing is a struggle. It's just heartbreaking to watch a baby who cannot even sleep peacefully.
That's why we don't take a sleeping baby for granted. Watching them sleep actually fills us with incredible joy. We are just so thankful that they are secure and happy enough to drift into total abandonment.
And would you look at those lashes! Just beautiful.
And of course, Little Swallow's eyes are just as lovely when she's awake!
