Ian is worried. "Mommy, Waurel is crying. Waurel has a boo-boo."
"Yes, Ian, her head hurts."
"Don't cry Waurel. I'll kiss it and make it better."
He leans in, and places a delicate kiss on her head. "There you go, Waurel, all better."
The screams continue, but Paul and I simultaneously say, "Aw."

And the book recommendations keep coming...
Laurel is active, to put it mildly. It is difficult for her to sit through more than a couple of pages in most picture books. And yet, I found one. She loves to look at and listen to Hush Little Baby by Sylvia Long. I actually sing the tune as we go through the book, which I'm sure helps Laurel sit still and relax. The sweet illustrations also get her attention. Instead of using the song's traditional materialistic words, Sylvia Long rephrased it to focus on things parents and their children can share together in sight and sound. "...mama's going to show you a hummingbird. If that hummingbird should fly, mama's going to show you the evening sky."

"Awwww" to both Ian's kiss and the book! Poor Waurel! I'm totally watching your site for book recommendations. It's a great way for me to stock up on quality stuff!!
Oh that's so sweet! Can't wait until we have two!
(Happy Delurking Week!)
Such an awwww from me, too. I hope that Hunter does the same someday...
That book sounds like such a good idea. The "gonna buy you a (whatever)" lines of the song always bothered me.
I love to watch sibling interactions... they are precious and one of a kind.
The love between siblings can be overwhelming at times. That is so sweet!
