Last week we were given two baby ducks from a family member (the wonderful aunt Jen). Addie has been so good to them and Summer has tried to be good. Yesterday I heard Summer in the garage saying "birdie" and I just knew she had gotten the ducks out and something horrible had happened. I looked into the garage and instead of seeing a flattened duck like I expected, I saw Summer rocking one of them in her arms. I had to take a picture and when I told her to smile she just hugged it.
This was a pleasing moment to a mother who got to witness her normally aggressive two year old daughter being gentle and motherly to a baby duck. These are the moments worth documenting. This is why I am starting a blog.
