If you've been following along the Miller family journey of intensity these days, I'm happy to report everyone is healthy, happy and even kind of having a blast!
Life is still nuts. Sleep is still scarce but we're coming into some normalcy as to be expected at or around 6months post partum.
A little moment happened in the car I've been meaning to write about. I mean kids say cute things all the time and I could honestly write EVERY day about that.
But....this was altogether sweet and beyond what I expected out of my eldest, Jude.
We were coming home from the gym. I have been really faithful with working out and my kids have been having fun in the child playroom area. It's helped de-stress me a ton.
Anyway, on our 10 minute ride home, the baby fussed. He wasn't full out sobbing but was just 'done' being in his car seat. I tried consoling him and even making those funny noises Moms make that usually pull out a smile from a baby. Nothing worked.
Joel called, could barely hear him over the baby's fussing and whimpering. All of a sudden, he stopped crying. I stopped to listen and peeked through the rear view mirror to see my Jude putting his face near Simon's (something I do all the time to calm him) and singing this:
"Hush little baby don't say a word....
Jude's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mocking bird won't sing.
Jude's gonna buy you a star wars ring."
He sang just these lyrics over and over....and calmed sweet Simon to sleep.
*GRATEFULSIGH*
