Conversations, sweet and simply put.

We're in the car on our way to gymnastics.   Sydney says, "let's play a new game.  These are the rules.  I will think of a word and give you a clue.   Then, you have to guess the word.  ok.  The clue is, it's in your heart."
Me : "blood"
Syd : "no"
Me : "arteries"
Syd : "no"
Me : "valves"
Syd : "no mom.  it's IN your heart"
Me : "muscle ?"
Syd : "NO !"
Me : "I give up. What is it ?"
Syd : "Love mom.  Love is in your heart."
Simple and pure.

Syd is still having night terrors, just about every night.   Last night was no different.
They had been going on and off for maybe an hour.   
Cam appears at my bedside, 1/2 asleep and with the sweetest little voice says,  "mama, Sydney is calling you, she needs you"
Me : "I know buddy.  Thanks, I'll go see what she needs"
Cam : "ok"  and off he goes back to bed.   
I think had he been more awake he would have said, "MOM !  Sydney has only been screaming for you for the last HOUR.  Do you think you can go in there and take care of her already ?   I'm not transitioning in to a nice REM sleep with all of this screaming going on.   GEEZE !"
Or something like that.
I thought it was sweet that he was concerned about his sister enough to get up.   come in my room.  and tell me.   My little protector.
