Mommy's Little Helper

I am amazed daily by the motherly instincts of my sweet girl.  She is only 17 months old, but loves her brother SO much, and always wants to calm him down if he's fussy, or help in any way possible.  For example, when she knows we're getting ready to leave the house, she will try to get his car seat for me (even though she obviously cannot carry it, she tries really hard).  Or when he's eating, she will bring me a bib.  And if he's crying, she will bring him a pacifier (which he never wants), or cover him with a blanket (even though it's approximately 100 degrees outside).  Recently, he was in his swing and started fussing, and so she brought him a blanket.

When this proved to be insufficient, she began to swing the swing for him.

And although this did not do the trick either, she was very proud of herself nonetheless.  I am so blessed to have such a sweet, well behaved little helper around the house!!
