"She's getting sleepy." Jeff smiled as he felt her lay her head down on his chest and cling to his shirt with her tiny fingers balled up, "Must be like a rocking chair." He said.

"Or the excitement of seeing the real world for the first time was just too much for her," Selina joked, sitting down on the swing next to him. Selina swang backward and forwards gently, while watching her daughter drift to sleep. "She really is the most beautiful thing in the world," She mused quietly to herself.

"She is very beautiful... I never knew I could love a baby I just met. But I love her more than I could ever put into words." Jeff smiled.

"I feel the same," Selina smiled. Just then, Sarah ran over and tugged on Jeff's sleeve.
"Uncle Jeff, will you help me build a sandcastle? John cant do it, he keeps smushing it," Sarah whined.

"He's smushing it? Selina, has your brother never built a sand castle? Doesn't he know you don't smush a sand castles?"Jeff asked as though John had committed the most heinous crime.

"No, I think he's just clumsy. He always used to smush my sandcastles ... sometimes I think he did it on purpose," Selina whispered to Sarah, causing Sarah to gasp, horrified.

"Well that's just rude." Jeff said, gasping with Sarah, "We'll have to teach him how to make a proper sand castle without smushing it." Jeff said, taking up Bandit's lead in one hand and Sarah's hand in the other.
He let her lead him over to the sand pit and Jeff sat down on the edge of the border, next to John.
"So I hear you like to smush sand castles..." Jeff said as if asking about the weather, "Let an old pro teach you how to do it without smushing the sand castle." Jeff smirked.
"Oh yeah this'll be good. The blind guy with a baby strapped to his front will build a better sand castle than me?" John teased.
"I can still take you on, can't I? If I can do that, I certainly can help my niece build a sand castle without smushing it." Jeff countered, "Smusher." He added as an insult to John.

"Hey! I didnt make sandcastles when I was a kid, I just jumped on Selina's," John laughed, sticking his tongue out at Selina. Selina stuck her tongue out back.
Selina raked her fingers through the sandpit, piling up the sandcastle into a pile, not trying to make any sort of shape.
John packed the sand into the bucket and tried to make a sandcastle. He picked the bucket out and the sand underneath crumbled.

Jeff reached down and felt the sand to be sure it was wet sand. He found a bucket and filled it with sand, packing it in tightly. He tipped the bucket upside down quickly then tapped the top of the bucket before pulling the bucket off making the perfect beginings of a sand castle. Jeff continued to make his sand castle with Sarah helping.
"See John! This is how you make a sand castle! No smushing!" Sarah said.

"Maybe I like smushing them," John said defensively. "It's more fun smushing than building,"
Selina rolled here eyes at him. "You're such a little boy,"
