Big Helper

Ashley has been such a big helper lately with her brother and her classmates. She has been so sweet and loving towards him, I love hearing about it and seeing her interact with others. About a week after Ashley started daycare a little girl had her first day and was having a hard time adjusting. Ashley put her arm around her and comforted her, showing her where to go for snack time and where the toys were. She told her "it will be ok". Then another day one of the little boys was having a hard time when his dad dropped him off, so again Ashley went up to him and put her arm around him saying it was ok. I've seen her do this to her brother too when he's crying and it's so sweet. She gives him a kiss on the head or arm and sits close trying to comfort him. The other day Isaiah's teacher was telling me a story of a time when Ashley came into the infant room to see him for a little bit. After being in there a while she went up to his teacher and said "Miss Loretta, does my brother need a bottle?" She's such a good big sister watching out for her brother. When I drop her off and go to leave she gives me a big hug and kiss, yells from across the room that she loves me and tells me to have a good day. It's so nice that she's so happy there, I couldn't do it if there were tears everyday. Would just break my heart! Brian told me yesterday when they were leaving she yelled to all the kids "goodbye, I love you guys!"
