Don’t Cry, Don’t Cry

(This post is somewhat devoid of pictures, because Margaret spent yesterday with her grandmother, and so she wasn’t there to have her picture taken.  I feel that this is obscurely her fault, not mine).

One of the things that is nicest about having two children is watching their budding affection for each other.  Ellie is sure that whatever toy Margaret is playing with is the coolest toy ever, because (of course) Margaret wouldn’t be playing with it if it wasn’t super-awesome, now would she?

This habit is not one of which Margaret is fond.

But yesterday, Ellie was crying in the car, and Margaret started singing her a song to make her stop crying.  It went “don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry, I will sing a song, don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry, etc.”

It was really cute.

Maybe you had to be there, but it was ADORABLE.  Not exactly musically or lyrically impressive, but very cute.
