Abby was fussing more than usual today so I put her in her bouncy chair facing me while I tried to get some bills paid on the computer. Madilyn came over and started climbing on top of her, which I thought would only exacerbate Abby's bad mood. However, before I could tell Madilyn to leave Abby alone, Abby started smiling and cooing. Far from being upset at being squished, she was glad for Madilyn to play with her.Another funny thing: for a while now when Abby begins to fuss I tell Madilyn to sing to her to help her be happy. For a long time Madilyn mostly ignored me and kept doing whatever she was doing. I guess it's finally sinking in though, because for the last week or two whenever Abby begins to cry Madilyn starts singing to her, often without any prompting at all. Her song goes something like this, "Abby, Abby, don't cry. Abby, Abby, it's okay." It's one of my favorite songs.

That's darling that she'll sing to her. I think one of the funniest things is hearing and seeing such a little person sing a song. It's so cute!
So cute. I wish I could hear Madilyn sing to Abby. Isn't it fun to see them be a good big sibling?
