Compassionate Heart

Noah woke up crying and calling for Daddy from his nap yesterday. By the time I got to the door Sydney had already stepped into action. She was talking to Noah and saying "You miss Daddy don't you buddy? Your Daddy's little buddy. It will be ok buddy. Would you like to read my Franklin book?" Sydney had this sweet compassionate voice as she was relating to his sorrow and trying to comfort him until help arrived. It was so good to hear her big sister heart for her little brother.

so sweet! We need her around here as Joel has been having repeated nights of crying and refusing to stay in his bed. Afraid of the dark all of a sudden it seems. Quite a test for Rob and I...
