Long Night but so Worth it When She Said This...

I woke at 2:30 am this morning when I heard my little May throwing up in our bathroom. I got out of bed and ran to her side. She finished and looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, "Mommy I need some medicine!" I told her they don't make medicine for when we are throw up sick and she just started crying and gave me the saddest look. It just broke my heart. Her crying woke up Katelyn who rushed in to help her sister. I sent her back to bed. Finally I got Mayli cleaned up and went to check her bed to see the mess and there was nothing really to clean up. Just a small amount on her pillow. She had thrown up a small amount and held it until she made it to the toilet! She didn't even come get Mommy. I was amazed at her self control and ablity to take care of herself. We went to the couch to watch a movie until Mayli was ready to go back to bed. After a few more trips to the toilet and doing some laundry it was 4:30 am. I made May a little bed right next to our bed and by 5 am we were all back asleep. Maddie woke up at 6 ready to eat. After nursing her I put her back to bed and by 6:30 I was asleep again. 8 am the day started. Finally 12:30 pm rolled around and it was time for Mayli to take her nap. As I tucked her in she looked in my eyes and said, "Mommy, you're my best friend!" And she gave me the biggest smile! And that made everything thing ok! I'm my daughter's best friend! YIPEE!!!

You are such a good mom, it's hard when they're sick. I have a hard time with throw up and potty training accidents, that's when I have to practice my patience.
