Thursday’s Theme over at Picture This is “three.” As of last night I still didn’t have anything for it…strange that I always find something for the challenging themes, but the easy ones like this leave me uninspired. But I want to participate, so I decided that I’d get up at THREE a.m. to take a few pictures of the sleeping girl.
My internal clock is pretty accurate, and it woke me up at 2:56. That was good enough for me; I was tired and not about to keep me eyes open any longer than necessary, so I stumbled back to Nadia’s bedroom. There she lay in the middle of the crib, blanket kicked off, TedBear snuggled under one arm and Cup under the other. Ah, how she loves TedBear and Cup!
So I clicked off about a dozen pictures, watched my angel sleep for a few moments, and stumbled back to bed. This morning I went to download pictures and was horrified to discover just how awful they are. Evidently I don’t take very good pictures half-asleep at 3 in the morning! I had planned to post 3 pics here (ya know, for the theme), but these were the only two even remotely salvageable. LOL!
Now visit Picture This for more interpretations of “three” – and probably much better quality pictures!
P.S. I think something clicked for Nadia last night and we’re really on the road to potty training – she did it again this morning!

I’ve tried taking night sleeping shots too and haven’t had much success. The lighting in these is pretty cool!

It is really hard to take night pictures even when you aren’t half asleep, so you can give yourself a break!
I love the first one…the second it a bit too hard to see for me, but I’m sure she’s cute in it, too.

I think that first one is gorgeous, and I love that you got up at 3:00 to take it. Shouldn’t middle-of-the-night photos be a bit hard to discern, just like real life?
I think these are great!

She is such a doll.
Congrats on the potty success.. We are having a few potty nightmares – lol – she’s ready but not – so it makes for some big messes. Sigh.

You get extra credit for being dedicated enough to the theme to get up at 3AM. I love the first shot of your sleeping angel. I’ll agree the second is dark.

Hooray for potty training!
Congrats!

Love your take on the theme 3. And am so impressed that you got up at 3 to fulfill it. *yawn*
I’m partial to the first one…love the cuddling with her buddy.

You get the award for the most dedicated Theme player!! 3am? WOW!
I do love the second one. It’s so mysterious and still.

WOW 3am! I like the 1st one. SHe looks so peaceful.

But that’s EXACTLY what 3 in the morning looks like!!!
