I was setting up the bassinet today for the new baby. The kids where very curious as to who it was for and as I was explaining it to them I thought I would just show them, so I grabbed Raggedy Ann. The whole room hushed. After changing her diaper and putting her back to sleep, Drakeford whispers "may I have her sleep on my shoulder?" Of course! So he silently takes her to his shoulder and pats her bottom to sleep as he walks around the room. Not to be out done, Marlow runs to get Raggedy Andy and his diaper too.
I sit on the floor with this sweet quietness of the room, watching these two sweeties enjoying their babies, holding them over the potty and sitting in the rocking chair to put them back to sleep.
If you have ever had more than one baby you probably know just what I'm talking about. It just made me so excited for the new baby and how much they are just going to be thrilled to care for another little soul smaller than they are!
"Healthy" will be here soon enough, we just need to be ready, in heart and mind!
