My Sweetie



This weekend our family had/and still has a yucky cold getting passed around. I had to play nurse to everyone including Shawn who had gotten it the worst. Poor guy doesn't have his spleen, and when he gets sick it is really hard for him to fight off infection. Anyway, by Sunday afternoon I was exhausted. Celeste must have noticed because she told me I should go rest and she would do all my work. Oh man, that would be wonderful! I took her up on the offer and went to my cozy room and fell fast asleep. When I woke up a couple hours later she had cleaned up the mess from lunch, washed all the dishes, swept the floors AND picked flowers that she arranged in a glass on the table. I was amazed and so proud that she had done all that for me. My little girl is growing up so fast!

Awww...how sweet is that. All that hard work of training her to be sweet, tender-hearted, and compassionate is starting to pay off. What an awesome thing!
