I just finished a reception and was feeling pretty good about a long day at work.
I enter the house through the garage door and this is the story conveyed to me:
Jenny leaves the boys in the nursery with crying babies and is in the kitchen frantically trying to put together a bottle as she listens to the babies screaming. After what seems like ages to the boys, she finally accomplishes this task and rushes down the hall. She opens the door to the nursery and this is what she sees:
Alex is on the chair, desperately trying to comfort a wailing Elsie. She has been sick for the past two days and is quite miserable. He's holding her tight. He's covering her eyes (she actually likes this). He's rubbing her head. Nothing is working. Unable to calm his little sister he bursts into tears crying, "she hates me!" Jenny then turns to Isaac and sees him hovering over a shrieking Daxton, doing everything to comfort him, also to no avail. Isaac then loses it because, well, everyone else is crying. He doesn't know what to do.
That's right people, this is the wailing room. Don't enter unless your packing Kleenex.
After a quick assessment, Jenny swoops in as "SUPERMOM" and snatches both babies up, comforts both, holds Isaac as well and talks down Alex, assuring him that he won't lose his status as awesome big brother.
After a few minutes, I enter a peaceful and quiet house.
I just missed the storm.
Funny. I didn't see the "Supermom" symbol in the sky. You know, like the one in "Batman". I guess we don't really need one...
She just lives at my house.
Very sweet! She is pretty Super!
I totally agree! She is quite the woman in many areas. And oh sweet Alex. He is too precious!
WOW!!! I probably would have joined in on the action (the crying, I mean)!!
What a good mom... as for the swimming suit pictures of me on my blog... well someone has to take the pictures! And besides that I am way too hot in a swimming suit, you'd be jealous! HA HA! Hey are you going to the reunion?
Jenny,
Its that nurturing thing that people talk about.
This sounds like nurturing at its highest level.
Way to go Jen!!!
