A mother first...

While I was painting the cat tutorial the other day, my two-year-old woke up early from her nap. She came downstairs all cranky and fussing. I couldn't make her happy so I sat down on the couch and held her. Well, she instantly fell asleep!  I was shocked. None of my children have ever fallen asleep in my arms during the day like that!  Oh, I cherished it!  Luckily, I had my phone with me so I snapped a couple quick pictures. I knew they were destined to be painted. Here are the pictures from start to finish.   I LOVE how it turned out!
