I've been sick the last few days and as you moms all know, you can't take sick leave*. But I had a sweet moment this morning where I was the one being taken care of.
After getting MaryP her breakfast I sat down with my own bowl.
MP: Where's your cup Mommy?
Me: I don't have one yet, I'll get one in a minute.
MP: I will get a cup for you Mommy, I will get you one. (Climbs down and goes over to the dishwasher)
MP: Would you like a regular cup?
Me: Sure
MP: I will get you a regular cup. (Pulls out one) How about this one?
Me: That's great.
MP: Would you like some water?
Me: I'll get some in a minute.
MP: I'll get you some. I will scoot my chair. It's so loud! (We recently had some people move in below us so we've been discussing how scooting the chair over the linoleum would be really loud downstairs.)
MP: (Getting some water) Here's some water for you Mommy.
Me: Thank you MP
MP: You're welcome Mommy, you're welcome.
I just thought that was so sweet. And yes, the conversation really went like that. MaryP has become very articulate and deliberate in how she speaks. It's really cute.
*For the record, Wood is good at taking care of me when he's around. He just hasn't been around much recently.

How cute! She is so adorable! I'm glad you have someone to take care of you when you're not feeling well!
What a sweet girl! With that kind of help, I'm sure you'll be feeling better in no time. I hope so!
Kids are so cute! It's nice when they start to learn independence, but I've also discovered that their independence can bring on lots of trouble.
I love little helpers! I'm glad you have a little someone to love and take care of you when a big someone is less available. Feel better soon!
That is very sweet. Her wording sound very similar to the dogs in up. If you haven't seen that movie yet, it is WELL worth it and it will remind you of sweet Mary P.
