Sleeping Baby
Caleb snoozes in a snug, woolly sleeping bag inside his cozy car seat. Closed, blue eyes point his long lashes down to chubby cheeks and a small nose. A silent mouth sometimes twitches in his deep sleep. Straight and soft, my little nephew’s red-brown hair reaches all the way down to his tiny ears. The 10-week-old infant wears a cream onesie covered in gold lions and chestnut dogs driving blue cars, but he does not notice this playful pattern in his slumber. A yellow ribbon connects a delightfully unneeded pacifier to a blue and white zebra clip on his shirt. Hopefully, the sleeping baby will continue napping so we may enjoy his adorable, quiet face.
Excellent descriptive writing, Justine! Even without the photo, I can imagine little Caleb as you describe him. Keep up the great work.
