A Sick Day for Bean...

I was awoken several times last night with what I thought was a seal in our house. I know, most people do not usually have seals in their homes but when you are deep in slumber and the noise you hear sounds like a seal...you look for a seal.

Unfortunately, it was Bean. She had this awful cough when I went in to check on her. By this morning, she had a fever as well. So, she stayed home with me today while her big sis, Ash, went off to school.

Within two hours, Bean was already asking what time Ash would be home. Within three hours, Bean was asking what I thought Ash was doing at school at that very moment. Within four hours, she was constantly looking at the clock and asking me what time I head to the bus stop. After five hours, Bean was constantly looking out the window for any sign of a bus with Ash on it.

In the 6th hour, she happened to catch sight of the middle school bus and I saw her face light up with excitement. She started to squeal, "Ash's home! Ash's home!". I think I broke a small piece of her heart by telling her it was the wrong bus. She looked like she lost all of her Littlest Pet Shop toys.

Finally, she heard the "beep, beep, beep" of a bus backing up and she knew it was the right bus. She looked at me and said, "Mommy, she's really home this time. I missed her so much today. May I PLEEEEAAAAASSSSSEEEE go open the door for her?"

So, even though it was colder than a popsicle outside, I let her go downstairs and open the door to greet her big sister with a smile. They have been side by side ever since Ash walked through the door.

Ash & Bean

I love these two girlies!!!

Aww, sorry she's sick! I've got a cough and a fever myself and it sucks. Badly. :)

Love how she missed her sister, that's heartwarming :D

I love how she was looking forward to her sister's return. My son is the same way with my daughter - looking for her when she is not in view.

I hope she feels better soon.

My little one was the same way when she was sick on Monday. At 9:00 she was asking for her sister and if she was awake she was asking for her.

Love that your girls like as well as love each other.

How sweet are they? My boys are really close as well and it makes me feel so incredibly lucky because I just know that they will always be close.

Colder than a popsicle...I like that! Not the cold part, but the metaphor.
So nice that your daughters are so close.

Oh sweet girls. There's something about that sister bond that just melts me, too.

{I hope that she feels better soon!}
