Ben's soothing ways

Ben has taken to soothing Caitlin when she fusses. Not only is it adorable, but it works!

One night Nic was getting Ben ready for bed as I was getting Caitlin ready for bed. Caitlin was crying as is usually the case after her bath (she really dislikes getting dried off and dressed for bed). We were in their respective bedrooms. Suddenly Ben came running into Caitlin's room 'shushed' her for a moment, and she stopped crying. He'd leave and she'd start again, so back Ben would come and 'shush' again - like magic, Caitlin would stop fussing. This happened a few times, then finally Ben said to Nic 'this will be the last time', and it was... she was happy from then on.

This morning Caitlin was getting a little fussy in her car seat while I was getting Ben and myself in our coats and boots (yes boots, yes we have about 20cms of snow in April, yes Mother Nature is cruel) and so Ben quickly acted giving Caitlin her soother and 'shushing' her, and she settled right down. It's just so sweet, and Ben's so pleased with himself whenever he settles Caitlin.
