Nurse Kate

For about 10 days now, we have had one child or another with a fever. It doesn't last long, but the poor child who has the fever is out for about 24 hours. The first one to fall was Kate. We were out of town, and bam, she just couldn't get out of bed. Once we came home, big sister Marie Joy took it upon herself to nurse Kate back to health, the American Girl way, or the Little Women way. If you have seen the American Girl movie Felicity, or Little Women, then you have seen someone sitting bedside, offering a cool wash cloth on the head of the sick person. Well, my little ones have taken this to heart, that this is the way to care for one who is ill. Last week, I didn't get a picture of Marie playing personal nurse to Kate. But I was on the look out for it this time around, and caught this on camera.

(I know Caleb looks pretty pathetic, but let me assure you, he was loving every minute of it. His sisters brought him his blankets and his Webkinz, and he was drinking it in.)

Afterwards, Caleb was sharing the love with his little sister who took such good care of him.
