A Lesson in Brotherly Love

I was cleaning the kitchen (why is it that I spend more time in the kitchen cleaning than cooking?) on Sunday afternoon. It was quiet in the house, which meant that no one was crying and the dogs weren't barking and Duke wasn't running down the halls singing. In fact I couldn't hear him at all.

Darrell comes in the kitchen and says, "He's in Lilly's room, did you know that?" I said no, I hadn't heard him in there (which if you know Duke is amazing; he is NEVER silent, or still for that matter). Lilly was on the floor on her tummy-time boppy. Carrying on with my duties, Darrell says he doesn't trust him in there with her alone. He walks into her room, is gone for a minute and then walks out.

Duke was lying on the floor next to Baby Lilly, stroking her head.
