Precious Moments

We have all heard of the saying "Distance makes the heart grow fonder."  Well it is really true with Will and Anna!!  Poor Will misses his sister while she is at school and this week has definitely confirmed it. 

Anna was sent home early from school Tuesday of this week with a fever and they thought she might have strep throat. Thankfully, after taking her to the doctor we found out she did NOT have strep but just a virus.  She was home sick for the remainder of the day Tuesday and I told Will that Anna was not feeling well and we should just leave her alone (she was in her room asleep). That evening when she did come out of her room he was SO Sweet to her and asked her how she was feeling, "are you better Anna, I sorry you sick."  It truly was precious that he was so concerned about her. 

Wednesday, I did keep her at home to make sure she was completely well and to prevent spreading whatever she had.  We started the morning with the 3 of us cuddled up in bed watching cartoons and talking.  Anna decided she wanted to play her Leapster. Will wanted to play so she taught him how to use it and they did a few things together on it.  They played ball together, they even took turns with toys in the car.  What was really heart warming is when out of no where, Will just walked up to Anna and gave her a big hug and said "I love you Anna!"  She then returned the hug and gave him a kiss on the cheek and responded with a "I love you too, Will."  These were just a few of the many precious moments they have surprised me with lately!!  They are the sweetest kids ever, in fact I caught myself thinking "these are not the kids I am used to!"  Most brothers and sisters argue, fight over toys, and bicker over every little thing.  Well, over the summer when they were together all day every day- that was them!!  Now with Anna at school, Will is just glad to have her home when she is.
