Baby E's babies
Baby E takes great care of her dollies. She'll get one and carry it around, calling it "Baby . . . my baby." She loves to feed them, read books to them, and rock them.
The cutest thing is watching her tuck one of her babies into bed. She'll take off hats and/or clothes, put a pillow in the toy crib, lay the doll carefully on the pillow, cover it tenderly with a blanket, and slowly pull the blanket up around the doll's neck and tuck it in.
She leans over the crib with a loving expression on her face, whispers "uhd-night, uv-oo" to the doll. Then she hugs and kisses it softly. After that she leans back slightly with one hand on her baby and one finger before her lips, saying "shhh . . . seep." Then she leans forward, adjusts the covers, stares into the doll's face and says, "uv-oo . . . shhhh . . . night," and kisses it again.
She'll sit there leaning over the doll's crib for a long time, just looking into its face the way a new parent watches an infant sleep. Every now and then she'll talk to it in soothing tones or hug and kiss her baby.
It melts my heart every time.
