I get this question almost every time I go out in public. I don’t know how awful other kids are to their baby siblings but my kids have luckily fallen in love with Laurelyn.

If anything, I feel like treating them poorly after they’ve woken her up for the 67th time because they can’t walk past her without holding her hand or giving her a kiss. They’re infatuated with her facial expressions. They try to imagine what she’s thinking. They want to dress her up, carry her around and keep her in bed with them at night. I’m so proud of how loving they are and it makes me immensely proud to be their mother.

I think I’m finding it easier to survive without falling into depression this time because I’m amazed every day by how helpful and enjoyable the kids are with their baby sister.

Can one little person be more loved than our little Laurelyn?

I hope so, I hope every little one knows this quantity of love.

Jason and Jocelyn took a break from homeschooling to snuggle Laurelyn and keep her from fussing.

(Yes, we’re still doing school through the summer. Maybe I’ll write about that another day because I’m getting asked about it often.)
