I worked an hour later than I usually do. This isn't really a big deal but it did mean that once my husband picked me up we weren't going to have a lot of time before the kids started to scream for food. We stopped at the grocery store to pick up milk. By the time we got home it was an hour after we are usualy finished eating.

Mr. Husband helped the twins out of their car seats and the boys had run to the door before I had my seatbelt off. I stopped to talk to Baby gil and walk to the door with her when I realized that she was preoccupied with the sound of a baby crying in the next apartment. Baby girl was very worried about the fact that this baby was crying. She took me by the hand and marched over to the sound of the baby. She was very upset that she couldn't find the baby. The blinds were closed to the apartment and she just didn't seem to believe me that the mommy was inside with the baby and that everything would be fine. She kept trying to pull me closer and closer but I frankly don't know anyone who lives in that apartment and thought that it would appear very strange to be peaking in the windows. Finally she was distracted by a bird that was in a cage on the porch of the apartment. She watched to bird for a minute and then I distracted her with my imitation of the bird and we walk home.

She forever amazed me with her kindness and love. She is only 18 months old but has already taught me so much. I am so thankful that I have a daughter like her. If only she would stop sneaking up behind her brothers when they are in time out and hitting them on the head.
