Today, I asked the 6 year old to hold the baby while I hauled the toddler to wash her super messy face and hands after our lunch. The other children whom I usually ask to help to hold the baby were stilll busy stuffing their faces 🙂
She was so thrilled so squealed in delight, “ME??????????????????” And as I placed the baby on her, she couldn’t stop grinning and said, “I like this!”
It really brings a smile to my face when they react wit joy and enthusiasm when I ask them to help out with the baby instead of groan and moan.
This baby certainly is privileged. She is almost never left to lie on the mattress/cot to cry when I have things I need to do. There is always a pair of willing hands to carry her while I finish up what I need to do. Unless she is tired or needs to burp (again!), she is happy to be held and entertained by her siblings.
They sure love the baby to bits!
