Sisters

Charley has been sick the last few days with a runny nose, cough, and fever. And last night a few hours after Gabby went to sleep, she woke up with the worst sounding cough. It was so bad, she almost couldn't breathe. I was going to be up all night worried about her, so we just decided to take her mattress and put it in our room so I could keep an eye on her all night.

Later in the night Ben wakes me up because he had heard Charley crying, and a light was on. Gabby had fallen off her mattress, so I get up to put her back on, and Ben goes to see where Charley was. She was in the living room, sitting on the couch with the light on crying. She tells Ben, "I don't know where Gabby is, where is my sister? She's not our room, I want her."

It was so sad. So Ben brings her in our room to show her Gabby was okay. And I go and grab a bunch of blankets to make a little pad on the floor and have Charley sleep with us as well.

I know they probably go through their stages of a love/hate relationship as they get older, but it is a good feeling knowing that they really do love each other.
