Today I pulled out four big bundles of dusty rose yarn to knit a blanket for my daughter who is due in October. My three year old daughter Clara asked me what I was doing. I told her I was going to make a blanket for her baby sister Twyla.
She picked up two of the unused bundles and cradled them like babies and said "Look mommy this is Twyla and this one is Twyla." She ran to her room and got her blanket from her bed to cover the yarn bundles with and she sang to them. I sat on the little couch with Clara her two babies. I was in tears. That was so sweet.
Its funny what little girls will make babies out of. A week ago Clara and I visited my sister up north. Clara found some plastic dinosaur toys and she rocked them like a baby. When we got ready to put her to sleep she was very worried about her "babies".
