Trailing Clouds of Glory

Isaiah has an off button.
Snuggle him close and he turns off, fast asleep.

Laura Swift (her website is here) and I had fun imagining up these photos. 
When I popped up to her house on a March day she just happened to have photos planned that go perfectly with one of my favorite poems;Recollections Of Early Childhood,

I couldn't wait to illustrate these beauties!
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; The Soul that rises with us, our life’s Star, Hath had elsewhere its setting And cometh from afar; Not in entire forgetfulness, And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory do we come From God, who is our home: Heaven lies about us in our infancy! - William Wordsworth
What do babies dream of?
Jesus said he wanted to be around children because they "were of the kingdom of God" 
Little ones reminded him of heaven.  They haven't fully forgotten thier citizenship.
They help me remember too.
