A couple of weeks ago on our way home from work/school I started feeling sort of car sick and I didn’t want Raelyn to get upset that I wasn’t playing with her so I told her that mommy wasn’t feeling good and that my tummy hurt. She said “Come here mommy” and reached her hand out to my head and then said “Lay your head down here mommy” and gestured for me to put my head in her lap. Then, she covered me up with her little blankie and said “I’m gon tick your back mommy” and started tickling my back to make me feel better… completely unprompted!! She’s the sweetest most caring little girl ever.

When we got home I laid down on the couch and she went and got her froggie for me (she knows I love to hug him). I was amazed that she didn’t get upset or worried that I was acting strange but she seemed to really understand what it meant that I felt sick and she knew how to take care of me. I think she’s going to be an incredible big sister some day – bossy – but very loving and caring too.
