it's amazing to me how much they love her, how they never seem to get frustrated with her... ever! they are such wonderful helpers, most of the time i don't even have to say anything... if eislee is crying someone just goes to soothe her. the other morning i was doing the dishes and the kids were in the living room watching a video and eislee was on a blanket on the floor with some toys... when she would start crying layla would just hop off the couch and go over and shake a rattle for her and talk to her. and the other night when i was making dinner... she got upset and maiko went over and told her a very animated story and i wish you could have seen the smiles and heard the giggles coming out of her.... i think it was the first time i heard her laugh :) brings a smile just remembering... i hope you get to hear a baby laugh today, it warms the soul like hot tea warms the tummy.
