Singing to Soothe

One thing that Jack has learned in the last year is that babies cry. Although Sam is a pretty pleasant little guy and doesn't cry much, he has his moments. Usually these days it has to do with taking a tumble after getting braver than his body will allow or something similar. Lately in times like these, Jack has made soothing his little brother his main objective. He started by asking me or Josh to sing a song to Sam...usually "Three Little Birds." But he calls it "Don't Worry song." Josh and I began to encourage him that he could soothe his brother by singing himself. So, naturally he picks the first song that pops into his head..."the ABCs!"

And you know what? Most days, it works!
