You are a brave woman, but with a keen eye and strong drawing abilities you just may be able to do it.
I take care of my granddaughter all day every day and my sketchbook is always nearby. The longest period I have is maybe three minutes before she moves on to something else, or changes position while watching TV (one hour limit, a great time to sketch). I'm afraid the most I can get is a quick study of the tilt of the head, an ear study, or an eye or mouth. I think you could work just as well with photo references after you have done some studies of a child to make color notes, and after seeing how the child "sits" in the atmosphere. With the knowledge of how photographs rob the image of depth, atmosphere, darkens and flattens shadows, they can still be useful in getting down an expression, placement of features, etc.
I can't wait to see your postings. Your work is so exquisite, it will be a treat to see what you "put down" on canvas!!! Have fun and good luck.
