There is something magical about sleeping children.  I can guarantee you that millions of parents have crept up on their sleeping babies tonight to take in a few moments of perfect peace.  It’s a way of recharging the parental batteries and basking again in the miracle of life.  Look, it’s a real person! Look how much he’s grown!  It’s one of the only moments...
