Any given day Doménica is usually trailing behind her big brother. Imitating him, pushing cars, playing with trains, balls, saying "vroom, vroom"... But on this particular day, for a change, roles with reversed! Here you can see the nurturing side of Gabriel: carrying a baby, feeding, diapering and even putting her to sleep. The sweetest moment was when I pretended the babies were crying and they started rocking them to sleep. I said to Gabriel - sing to the baby Gabriel, sing her to sleep... I was shocked when he started singing the same lullaby I used to sing to him as a baby, one that I have not sang to him in at least two and a half years..."los pollitos dicen pio, pio, pio cuando tienen hambre cuando tienen frio"...
I am so glad I have these memories... they truly help when I have to agree with Amy that "four is the new two", not referring to pant sizes! sigh...
each of them with their babies
Here Gabriel "diapering" the baby
About to pick her up and sing "los pollitos"
