The Baby Whisperer

I've commented before about my regard for the Baby Whisperer, whose advice I feel is responsible for our having three out of our three babies be incredible sleepers and all-around happy kids.  It could be luck and we could be in for a surprise with the next one, but I'm still sticking with her advice.

But that's not who I'm talking about.

I'm talking about Matthew. He is so good with Molly it's unbelievable.

You know how some people are just good with kids? Matthew is one of those people. He can get her to stop crying, he is always coming up with silly songs or silly things to do to entertain her.


For him, Molly is not someone who is just sort of there and he has to work around, but he really is a good friend to her and he seems to really enjoy playing with her.

So much so, as our family was battling pinkeye the past two weeks, we caught Matthew, who was pinkeye's latest victim out with her in the morning wiping her eyes, "Taking care of Molly." .

As horrifying as it was to see a person with a very contagious disease using a tissue he was just using on his own eye to wipe his baby sisters, it was very endearing. And so far, she is pinkeye free.

I'm so blessed we have such a good helper as Matthew! I'm hoping the trend will to continue when his baby brother arrives in September!
