Little Mommy

Yesterday after our regular church meetings, Billy had to stay after for an additional meeting, so I brought the three kids home myself. Of course, as soon as I had Emily and Jacob's lunch on the table, Mattie wakes up ready to eat (sooner than I expected). So, I got the two older ones settled and started feeding the baby. Of course, I'd only been sitting for two minutes when Jacob starts asking for something else. Up steps our "Little Mommy." For the next 18 minutes, while I was nursing and burping the baby, she was getting water to drink, more lunch meat to eat, helping Jacob get down from the table, helping him wash his hands, and even singing him a song and putting him down for a nap! :) I asked her to do the water and lunch meat, but the rest she just jumped up and did all on her own. I couldn't believe it when she sang to Jacob and told him to have a good nap. And he totally went along with it! What a Happy Helper!
