This makes it all worth it.

So for over a week now I have been tending two sick kids. Then I got sick and dan got sick. It's a pathetic mess! I have been up every night administering meds, humidifiers, tissue, herbal remedies and anything else that will "make the sick go away" (as Aiden would say.) Everyday I think we are improving and every night it is very apparent that we have digressed into yet another symptom. But a couple nights ago three little words made up for all the sacrifice! I put Aiden into bed with me and snuggled up next to him and in the dark at 3 a.m. I hear his little voice say, "Mom, your the coolest!" This from my 4 year old! I was so touched and very sleep deprived, and I exclaimed "I AM!" And started laughing hysterically, which then set him off. And together we laughed and finally slept. Love being a mom!
