Any morning 7AM.
"Can I see your owie?" Antonio asks. He's flagging a bandaid in the air.
Crystel brushing Sleeping Beauty's hair says, "It doesn't hurt much more."
When she came home from swim lessons last night the door slammed against her bare heel. Amongst the screaming and dogs barking I heard Jody say, "I don't see any blood. I think it will be all right. Stop Screaming so I can look closer."
This morning, Antonio, the ever helpful brother, who didn't receive any encouragement, lay on his back to doctor her owie.

Crossing her legs to hide her heels, Crystel says, "You can see it only if I move." She gently strokes her dolls hair, not paying her brother any mind, and bundles the golden locks into a ponytail.
