Sisters Part II

Here's another "sister story" worth sharing. The other day Abby and I were hanging out downstairs while Emmy was napping. After only a brief sleep, Emmy woke up crying. I told Abby I'd be right back, that I needed to go stick the paci in Emmy's mouth and try to soothe her back to sleep. Abby said "Mommy, can I come with you?" I said sure, but explained that we couldn't talk and needed to be very quiet b/c it was important for Emmy to go back to sleep. So we tip-toed in her room and true to her word, Abby just stood there silently looking at Emmy. When I realized the paci wasn't going to do the trick, I whispered "Abby, I'm going to rock her for a minute, but we still need to be quiet." Abby climbed up next to me on the rocker, and Emmy was in my arms, facing her big sister. That's when I heard a little baby giggle. Then another. Emmy was looking at Abby and laughing! Abby was smiling right back, but still obeying by not talking. Except to look at me and say "Mommy, I think she's awake." I agreed, and we gave up on Emmy going back to sleep after that!
