Instinct

It has always been amazing to me to observe the true maternal instincts that exist in women.  God intricately designed each of us to be able to care, love, and meet the needs of our children.  What's even more amazing is to watch this maternal instinct begin to form in the youngest of little girls.  I posted a blog and video a year ago, here, showing Landry's first signs of maternal instinct, and since her little brother has been born, the instinct has intensified.  A few days ago, I left Eli in Landry's room while I ran downstairs to take care of something.  Eli started to cry, and as I headed upstairs I saw Landry fly from her room to ours.  She quickly reached in Eli's bed and grabbed his monkey blankie and ran back to her room.  She then layed the blankie on him, ever so gently, and began to say, "What's wrong Eli.  It's ok."  My heart was definitely melting.  


Here she is feeding Eli.  When she is feeding him, she wants NO help.  Don't even think about touching the bottle. 

She's going to make an excellent mommy one day!
