Sibling Care

Noah woke up a few nights ago crying. I went in to console him and help him go back to sleep. He asked me to pray for him and to give him hugs and kisses. I happily did all three and was about to leave the room when he stopped me. Noah pointed over at Sydney sleeping in her bed and said "Pray for Sydney. Hugs and kisses." He did not want me to leave without loving on her too.

One morning this past week during Sydney and Noah's "room time" the door became closed and all was quite. This is never a good sign so I proceeded down the hall to say for the 1000th time please don't close the door and to say no to whatever they were doing in secret. I opened the door and to my surprise there was Sydney sitting on the floor with the baby wipes and a clean diaper changing her little brother. Sydney looked up at me and said "Mommy, Noah's diaper was wet so I'm changing it for him." If you ask Sydney what she is going to help with when baby sister is born she will always say "Changing diapers!" I guess she just couldn't wait to get some practice in.
