Asked and Answered

This morning, completely exhausted after a short night of sleep and more in need of coffee than any human being ever, I head downstairs.

I am met on the stairs by Jeff, with sleep-tousled hair and sandman in his eyes.

"Can I go say good morning to the babies?" he asks. "I'll be quiet."

"Of course you can," I reply.

I go downstairs and Angus and I log in to our IP camera in their room, and we see and hear the babies' big brother adjust the stuffed animals he excitedly brought them last night. Then he leans in to their cot, talks sweetly to them both and rubs their backs before he tiptoes out of their room and shuts the door.

I think it's going to be ok.

-H.

8 *nods head* Yep. Things will be fine. Based on what you'd written in the past he seems to be a good kid. I thought he'd be OK Not that everything will ALWAYS be fine, but you knew that already.

11 Ok, I admit it... I read it again. "Babies' big brother" - what an amazing term, when you think about it.

24 I loved hearing this. It was the back rubs that did me in. *sniffle*

Posted by: Teresa at October 29, 2007 03:28 PM (HGSEb)

25 The pets will get used to da babes, dinna wurry. And Jeff came through, yay! You knew he would; you were just afraid he wouldn't. Don't let your fears overwhelm what is real. As my bro likes to say to me when I'm too much in my own head, "There is the mind and then there is reality." Heh. I really like that saying. Of course, I like it a lot better AFTER I've stopped listening to the crap my brain can spew out. hah! Hugs to you all.

Obviously Jeff has fallen under their spell just as the rest of us have So, did you and A high 5 one another after seeing the back rubs and whispered sweet nothings?
