Adoration

The innocence of youth is incredible to watch. Take these three boys. They wrestle and hit, jump and spit, bite, fight and rough house. (As all boys ought to do. They also wipe up spills, help clean up toys, throw garbage away and take naps!) But then along comes Baby Etta. Watching the tenderness that they use to touch her melts the heart. And the concern they show when she is fussy illustrates how human nature is to ease the suffering of others. As you can see below often they just want to be near her, but when she started to get unhappy Noah tried to give her the Soothie (pacifier). He was not rough and did not shove it in. Just gently held it to her lips. Thank you, Christine, for raising such polite and wonderful children!
