Being a big sister is one of Berry's proudest achievements (oh yes – she is under the impression it's a position she's earned through merit). Yesterday she sidled up to Kickbaby, who was lying on my lap. "I love you, little man," she said. "I love you very much. Your big sister give you a kiss, and a hug, and a softhead."
Uhh... a what?
A "softhead", it turns out, is Berry's invented term for rubbing the palm of your hand gently across the top of a baby's head.
Everyone does it. Now you have a name for it. You're welcome.

ReplyDeleteHow sweet!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the technical term, Berry! :)
ha! gotta love it. i love that her name is Berry. sweet picture. it always makes me smile when children who have younger siblings take on the big sister/big brother role with such pride. & love.
ReplyDeleteGlad it was softhead and not hardhead, smackhead, or roughhead. I'm guessing she won't be the big sister that someday you will tell stories about her dumping her little brother out of his cradle!
