Last week when Ben was sick, Becca was his little care taker.  She would sit by him and gently say “Baba sick, poor Baba”.   If that just doesn’t melt your heart, I don’t know what will.   She was very quiet around him and always wanted to know that he was ok.  

The best of her “nursing” skills came when Ben thought he had to throw up.   He was hanging his head over the toilet for no less than 45 minutes.   He wanted me to sit in there with him and rub his back.  Being the wonderful mom that I am I went and grabed my book and sat on the edge of the tub, reading and rubbing his back.   Becca finished her Wiggles video and came looking for us.   Again she said “Baba sick” and Ben pittifly lifted his head and asked her to rub his feet, because we all know that having our feet rubbed helps us throw up.   She happily agreed and stood there and rubbed his feet, repeating “Baba sick, poor Baba” over and over and over.
