Ooh, this reminds me of the little boy I saw when my eldest daughter was about 5 or 6 weeks old.

I was doing the breast feeding thing and was so dang tired, I took my daughter to my own bed and lay her beside me to feed her while I kipped.

At some point, well after her feed, she was fast asleep beside me and I had awoken. There was about 3" between her and the edge of the bed and right beside the bed (literally right up against it) and in front of my bedside table was a little boy.

He was about 3 years old, perhaps 4. He had short, fair hair and was all white light but with no glow. He was wearing clothing, but I took no notice of what he had on. What fascinated me was that he stood there, staring at my daughter while she slept.

What also fascinated me was that he didn't vanish. He was there for a good 10 seconds. After I had realised in my sleep induced stupor that I had someone standing beside my bed, I counted off the seconds and blinked as a person usually would - the little boy remained.

He did vanish around the 10 second mark. But I had been staring at him for too long (and become totally awake) to think that he was a figment of my imagination.
