From 9/13/2011 (I am slow to get it published):
Today as I drove the kids home from school, John, who has been a bit of a 4-year-old pill lately, warmed my heart all the way through. All three of the older kids beg/fight to sit next to Helen in the car. John rarely wins since I tend not to intervene on his behalf. To be honest, she doesn't always appreciate the enthusiasm of his company.
But lately, James and Maggie have been busy with their books in the car, and even if they fight to sit next to Helen, they rarely interact with her. John, although a bit in her face, usually plays with her the whole time, which she adores.
Today, he simply sang quietly to himself as he held her hand: "Helen is the world's best baby. Helen is the world's best baby." Over and over again, he sang. Pretty endearing from a mom's point of view.
