A few weeks ago, Suzy had a short tummy bug. Then, Mommy got it. For days, she perseverated on how we both "threw up" in the bowl. I was actually very proud of her for being able to do this at the age of two. Just to be safe, I would wrap her in a towel to help aid in minimizing mess. So, today, after we got done swimming and she announced that Emmy had a tummy ache, I wasn't too surprised at what she did. I was, however, taken aback at the conversation that occurred between her and Emmy. She is such a "little mother" and I'm so touched by how very sweet she is.
"Emmy needs to throw up. It's OK, It's OK. Feel Better. AAAAWWW what a bummer. You can do it. It's OK. Throw up, baby. I will get a rag for her. I need a big rag." It was really sweet. It was also very eerie how as she was talking, it was as if she were playing back a little tape recorder with the exact words I used with her. Just a little reminder for me that these wee ones really do soak up all that you say to them. It truly makes me want to be a better person when I think of how she is like my little mirror......

How sweet is that? She's at such a precious age right now! She's going to be such a good big sister.
