While They Were Sleeping (25 Sweet & Funny Photos of Kids Sleeping)
Little mouths agape, lashes still as the midnight sky, and a blanket of peace comforting our home is perhaps the closest thing to heaven there is. Kids sleeping is such a sweet (and sometimes funny) thing to behold, isn’t it? I especially love to peek in their rooms at night, after the bedtime excuses have died, and see that their little bodies have finally given in for the day. I love to soak in how cute they are. Somehow, it helps me forget about anything naughty they may have done. It’s definitely one of my parenting paybacks.
When kids fall asleep, especially in a peculiar position or place, what’s the first thing we do as parents? Grab the camera! Snap that shot that we’ll treasure or laugh at forever.
I compiled some of my favorite photos of my kids sleeping and included some photos of others’ kids too. They are just too sweet and funny!
Click through to see if your child has ever fallen asleep in any of these 25 positions…

So Sweet
Pink blankets, tired eyes and a hard day playing equals some serious z's. How can you not love a face like that after a long day?

Shopped Out
After a long day of shopping, the kids let mom take a load off while finishing their nap in the garage.

Crime Scene?
It was Daddy's turn to put the kids to bed. Mom walked in the door and had to check to see if they were still breathing. Daddy forgot about the "bed" part. Looks like they were having too much fun!

This Show is Boring
That position can't be too comfy, and I don't foresee it lasting too long. He sure does look peaceful though!

Sleeping in the Closet
Anybody seen our daughter? Oh! She's asleep in the closet! Kids find some of the funniest places to sleep sometimes.

And...He's Out!
It doesn't take long for them to decide they're tired. One minute they're awake, the next...they're gone.

Who's Happier?
This is Daddy's favorite moment. Daughter looks pretty happy too. I'd say she fits like a glove.

Not Hungry Anymore
If I had a dollar for every time my kids fell asleep while eating, I'd be a very rich woman!

Forget the Couch...
I need a nice, hard, cold table to sleep on! They are just so much more appealing than the couch that is 3 feet away. Ha!

Mommy's Arms
Heaven for a child could probably be described by this photo. No words needed. Kids love to be safely sleeping in mommy's arms, don't they?

Sleepover
Forget separate beds or rooms for that matter, these kids love each other and don't want to be separated! So cute!

Can't Go Anymore
There's too many stairs! He can't go anymore. Must take a rest first. I love this photo. Kids are so funny!

Blankets
My son loves his blankets. It's pretty much guaranteed he will fall asleep if he lets them perform their magic on him.

Just a Little Rest, Please?
"I'm so tired, can I have just a little rest, please?" When will a mom ever object to a plea like that?

Siblings
Here is some more classic, sibling love. Big brother and little sister together is a giant parenting payback.

Head Rush?
Do kids get headaches? I know I wouldn't last very long in this position. Now that is tired!

Hanging Out
"Mom, you go ahead and do your thing, I'm just going to hang out here on the floor for a bit!"

Sisters
This is a tender moment for parents. They may fight all day long, but it's only because they love each other and they don't want to be without each other...even while sleeping.

Even Spidey Needs a Rest
He's been rescuing people from the bad guys all night and now this superhero needs a rest to get pumped back up!

how cute r thy gave me a smile 4 the day….lil angels
Your photos are fun – soooo ‘real’. Such great! kids. We love them.
My son doesn’t fall asleep in random places very often, but one night we got home from a busy day and he sat down on his bean bag while I did some things. Next thing I know, he’s asleep with one leg crossed on top of another, shoes still on, and a finger hooked onto his glasses. It was so cute! Another time we were at my aunt and uncle’s house, and he’d wandered off. When I found him, he was asleep on their couch with my cousin’s football cradled in his arms! I do have pictures of both times.
gee I wish we could post our own pics…i’d love to see the football one, Alicia. The funniest place my 6 month old baby girl has fallen asleep so far is the swimming pool. Conked right out in her little boat thingy. I have the cutest picture of her after I took her out of the pool, all wrapped in a towel on a beach lounge chair with rolled up towels as bumpers and her little boat as a shade umbrella. Sooo cute!
Lol so cute. My kid falls asleep in a lot of places. It’s pretty funny. Just earlier today she fell asleep in her baby sister’s bouncer.
Too cute…My youngest is also infamous for some funny sleeping positions. I document on my blog: http://mommylok.wordpress.com/sleeping-adventures/ Couldn’t help but to share with my readers!
My three never feel asleep, ok at least it seemed like they never did. Sleep was such an issue when they were little, all have ADHD. Nice to see kids asleep they are darling. I only have one sleep photo of my kids after babyhood. We woke in a hotel room and my youngest was so cute , we had to snap a photo. It is a favorite of mine, one moment of peace in a crazy life.
My favorite has to be my four year old climbing out of the tub and falling asleep on the bathroom floor.
