Right now I am taking a moment to pop on as dd7 is working on her copy work.  She is writing out a copy of Tennyson's  The Eagle...a very short but exciting poem.

As we were doing our reading practice and memory work, my dd4 was sitting with her little brother.  Even at her age she is able to help me by entertaining him.  She is my sweet helper...she gives him toys to play with and shakes rattles at him.  She makes funny sounds and faces at him to get him to smile.  This is so helpful when he begins to get tired of laying on his tummy or back, but I am trying to do something with dd7.  Obviously if he gets too anxious, I pick him up and talk to him or nurse him, but sometimes he is satisfied with her sweet play.  Of course this only lasts as long as she finds it interesting, but for the few minutes she does it...it is a great help.

I am thankful that God has given me two daughters that love to entertain their brother.
