We were driving home from running some errands and Ainsley was getting fussy, crying is more like it. She was tired and just wanted to be home so she could take a nap. Usually the only thing that calms her down is Cheetos or me singing her favorite song. Well, we didn't have Cheetos in the car and just as I was about to start singing Beckham started singing to her. He held her hand and started making up his own song. It had the line stop crying and go to sleep. It was so sweet the way he was singing to her and low and behold she stopped crying. After nap time we were playing with money putting it in a piggy bank. Ainsley was having a hard time and Beckham said, "here's how you do it sister, just like me, watch" he then showed her how to turn the coin so it would fit. It's moments like these you want to capture because they aren't always so sweet to each other. As a parent it is fun and frustrating to see your kids interact. One minute they are playing together bonding having a great time then the next they are fighting and crying. It's hard to know when to step in and referee and when to let them work it out (sometimes it is easy to know when to step in). Monte and I are trying to raise our kids to love one another and to take care of each other but some days it isn't that easy. That is why days like today are important to remember.
