Aw, com’on. Babies cry sometimes. Sometimes for no apparent reason.
Never had any of my own, but three younger sisters,three niecesies and a whole herd of their kids have taught me that whatever they are yowling about, will be forgotten quickly, and I’ve learned how to distract them. If there is reason, Mamá will know by the tone and step in to take care of things.
This is so true – “you really never get over it.”
and even worse – neither do your kids.
