Melted

I will readily admit that this story I am about to tell most likely will be mundane and dull to the vast majority of you. That being said- I couldn’t wait to share it!

K has been sick, really sick. She has been attached to me for days, very attached. Last night I was elated when she got off my lap. I was surprised but enjoyed having my lap free for the moment. She got down, walked over to L who was sitting on the loveseat, put her arms up to her. L picked her up and pulled her onto her lap, where she sat. L looked over to me and said- Mommy are you seeing this?!? She was soo excited that her sister wanted to snuggle with her. It was all K’s idea and that really made L happy.

Now I am not sure I can explain just how heart warming this moment was.  Honestly, I think you moms out there will know exactly how I feel.  I do know how amazing it feels when a little one holds their arms up to you to lift them up in those early days, when they just start doing that. So I can imagine how L must have felt when K raised her arms to her. And I just love that K, feeling all sick and miserable, wanted her sister to help her feel better. 

Call it sleep deprivation, call it mental exhaustion from dealing with 3 weeks in a row  of sick kids, call it whatever you like…but, this was one of my favorite mom moments so far.
