I've been pretty sick the last few days, but Katherine and Sarah haven't gone far from my side. Katherine comes to me at least a few times each hour to ask me "Mommy, are you sick or are you better now?" to which I respond "Still sick sweetie."
Then she runs off, taking Sarah with her, and they almost inevitably come back with something to make me feel better - a picture they drew, a Lego creation, a doll, even a shoe (still don't get that one).
Such helpers they have been! I've been reminding them I need them to be helpers, to be nice to each other because Mommy is sick and can't do everything she would like to do. They have been taking it like champs!
My personal favorite was this morning.
I've been running a lot of movies (I hate doing it, but it's the only way I can get through the day being THIS sick and having them here with me), and I put in Meet The Robinsons this morning.
Katherine and Sarah were watching it, and they were taking turns coming up on the couch with me. Sarah would give me her bunny (for those of you who know bunny, it is a dear and beloved toy for her), and give me Eskimo kisses. Katherine would run her fingers through my hair. There was always one of them at my side.
Amazing to me how such small children can be so aware of what is going on around them, and they almost immediately become nurturers! They never cease to amaze me.
