Sweet Girls

My Sweet Girls have now been sick for a handful of days with a nasty cold. The Girl came down with it last Wednesday and despite my best hand-washing efforts I was unable to keep Baby Sister from getting it. The Girl is on the tail end of it but Baby Sister is still sniffling and coughing. This afternoon I put a sleeping Baby Sister upstairs on the bed in our room with hopes that she would remain asleep long enough for me to get lunch made for the Girl. No such luck. I barely made it down the staircase before I heard her stirring and within minutes she was crying. I figured that I would let her cry for a few moments while I got some rice started. The Girl had been happily playing in the front room but then I noticed that I could no longer hear or see her. On a hunch I tiptoed upstairs and found her sitting on the bed next to Baby Sister trying to get Baby Sister to take a pacifier and asking her, "What's wrong, why are you crying? It's ok Big Sister is here." So incredibly sweet! It absolutely melts my heart to see the two of them together and to see the Girl treat her Baby Sister with such tender affection.
