Miss Glass Is Half Full reminded me of something in this post.
GBK has been asking for us quite some time- she wants a baby brother... and a baby sister. Not one- both. So when Sam got pregnant, I told GBK that Sam was having the baby for her... sort of like a baby brother.
She has taken that role very serious- she asks every single day if we can go see Sam and help take care of Baby Thomas.
When we are there she spends a few minutes watching him, telling Auntie Sam-
I think he needs a blanket
or
Maybe he is hungry
or
I think he wants to sit in his stroller
she is always offering suggestions (I wonder who she learned that from!)
Twice now we have been riding along in the car when Baby Thomas decides to test his lungs- screaming for his mama (I think it is a certain part of his mama that he is really screaming for) in the most pissed-off scream ever.
And GBK just sits patiently in her car seat singing- Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or her version of Hush Little Baby. She doesn't stop until the song is over and does not get upset when her powers are clearly not working on him. I say, just give him time sweet pea, he will fall under your spell just as the rest of us have.

It is so sweet - we should try to catch it on video!!
Emily used to do that for Keith when he was an infant and upset, except she would sing You Are My Sunshine. Now, she just says from the backseat "Moooooooom, Keith is crying!" like I can't hear it!
