Big Sister Love

She loves loving her baby brother.  My biggest helper, she follows me around most of the day, running to get things I need like pacifiers and bibs.  When I have to put Squirmy down on the floor or in the carseat or baby swing, she’s right their trying to calm him down, talking to him in a singsong voice, or performing lullabies for him.  She “reads” him books, replaces his nuk when he spits it out, and coos at him.  She begs to hold him all day every day, and when he fusses and fusses in her arms, she doesn’t even mind.  She wipes up his spit up and snuggles him up.  She never wants to be done holding him.  She’ll sit with him FOREVER no matter how grouchy he gets.

If she keeps this up, she’ll be an amazing mother someday, better than me, which is just how I’d have it, without a doubt.
