My sweet nurturer

When I got home from the race on Saturday I was exhausted, but at the same time we wanted to go have some family time after being away since Friday afternoon. So we went and played a bit, and went shopping. By the time I got home I was beat. I stretched out on the couch for a minute, and before I knew it I was out. I was gently woken up by my sweet Rebecca. She had brought down her comforter from her bed to lay on me, and gave me her pillow also. Then she was so sweet and she got me a sippy cup of water, cradled my arm around it and tucked me into the blanket. It was the sweetest thing. Her voice was so soft and loving. She warned Hayden and Sydney not to wake me up because I was tired, then she left me in peace. But then she quickly but calmly turned around and came back to me and gave me the softest, most tender kiss on the cheek and said, "I love you sweetie." The quietly tiptoed away to play with her Barbies.
Oh, that girl can melt my heart. I know I get frustrated with her independence sometimes, but her independence is also what I love most about her - in an odd way. She has such a sweet little heart! I'm so lucky to be the mother of each of my special children!
