My Big Little Girl

I learned something about my daughter this weekend...she's pretty much amazing!

My family got a stomach bug this weekend.

First, Ellie got it on Thursday.

Her first "incident" in her carseat.

Daddy had to be called for backup...caus this Momma was about to have an incident herself.

Oh my...I don't wish that on anyone!

Then it was poor Anna's turn.

I had been on a women's retreat with my church and had been home seriously 5 minutes.

I went to check on Anna, because she was still awake yelling for us.

And...she threw up on me.

[sigh]

That was a first.

Welcome Home Mommy!

And she proceeded to be sick about 8 more times that night.

But let me tell you a little about her character.

This 3 1/2 year old child NEVER cried about it.

She NEVER even complained about it.

And she thanked us every time we brought back her trash can after cleaning it out for her.

I mean seriously...who are you??

I'm going to be honest here.

When I am that sick...I cry...a lot.

I cry out of pity for myself.

I complain about it.

I lament over the fact that I'm going through something so horrible.

She is such a strong person.

I am so proud of her.

I have even more reason to love my big little girl.

I cannot wait to see her grow up.

She's going to be a pretty amazing woman some day.
