You finally give in. Allowing your long, willowy legs to be still and rest for a few stolen moments.
I watch you lying there with your hair sprawled across the pillow, your arms tucked up under your chin, and your tutu bunched up around your middle, as your eyelashes flutter closed. I think you look even more graceful asleep, than you do dancing.
Find out what is gracing everyone else’s life over at Tracey’s today.
Barely Controlled Chaos 
It’s beautiful. So vintage-y.
So sweet; there’s nothing like a little dancer crashed on the couch. Love the muted colors.
I love the way you captured her rest… with your picture and with your words. Beautiful!
What a graceful shot and a phenomenal words to go with it.
You’ve lovingly captured a beautiful moment.
oh that is precious!
I love watching my kids sleep… this is lovely. The bunched up tutu tells the story!
Good gosh, Carrie! You do it every week, you always have the perfect words and photos to capture the specialness. *sigh*
And if I ever have another daughter, I think I might name her Grace just so I can do those plays on words.
Oh, such a sweet shot and words, Carrie. I love the vintage treatment on this shot, too.
I love the softness of the photo and your words are beautiful. To me there is nothing quite as sweet as a sleeping child.
like how her feet are tucked into the corner…
That is so very sweet
What a peaceful pic….it makes me want to whisper when I am around it lest I wake the ballerina up!
I’m continually amazed – by the beauty of your images and the careful construction of your words. Thanks for moving me with simple appreciation today!
Beautiful photo and awesome words to go with it!
Took my breath away. So sweet and peaceful.
What a lovely photo and sentiment. Thanks for sharing it.

What a wonderful moment.
funny, I have a sleeping on the sofa shot from last week too! But eloquent words to go with it.
What a beautiful photo Carrie! She looks so peaceful. I love the technique around the edges!
So innocent and precious. You captured a whole moment of childhood. Gorgeous!
And love the digital story board, too, her EYES! WOW!
That is just the sweetest! And what a great treatment to mute the colors a bit…it’s so peaceful looking!
Lovely indeed.
