quiet, please

Audrey is always learning new tricks, but I especially love her newest one. She puts one pudgy finger to her lips and says, "Shhhhhhh!"

She does it when the girls are being too loud in the car, or at the dinner table, or when they're fighting. I could just kiss her. And sometimes I do.

Tonight, I was snuggling her and humming "I Am a Child of God," just getting ready to tuck her in bed, when the girls came into their room from brushing their teeth, talking and laughing. Audrey raised her tired head from my shoulder and shot them a look. She shifted her furry blanket from one hand to the other, then raised her finger to her binky. "Shhhhh!"

Of course, Ella and Lauren found her hilarious, so it didn't help much. But I have to say, I really think Audrey and her new trick are creating a little more peace and quiet around here.

We love our little librarian.
