Bringing Home The Babies
Posted By blinker on April 8, 2008
My daughter was four when I brought home my newborn twins from the hospital. Now, you have to know that she was a great helper! Before the arrival of my little twins Kaleigh had already become a wonderful big sister to little Jakob, who was just a year when the twins came home. But, Kaleigh loved to help out with all the little babies. She loved to get their wipes or help feed them a bottle. However, she did give me a scare one afternoon. I had put all the kids down for a nap and some quite time. I had taken a quick second to use the restroom and I could still hear one of the twins fussing a bit. In my mind I knew that they would be asleep in no time so I didn’t dash right out. I came around the corner though to see Kaleigh carrying a brand new teeny tiny baby over the fresh tile floor! I thought for sure by her weak hold and that wiggly baby that someone was going down! I remember telling her to stand still! And in her sweet voice she told me that he was crying and she just wanted to make him feel better! So sweet, but seriously, be still my heart!
