A Fly on the Wall

Last night I was sick. Body aches, headaches, sore throat, and general yucky feeling. Through the baby monitor I listened to Pippi manage bedtime. She made Boo and Bardo feel so special with songs and stories. She made sure the lights they like on were on and that the door was open just so. Then she came down to my room for story time. She read Anne of Avonlea, the book I've been reading to her, to me. I fell asleep before she was through. But it was almost worth it to be sick to hear how sweet and loving Pippi was with her siblings.
