I have the kids again tonight, just finished getting their baths over, and all 3 are tucked into bed, the girls here beside me, watching "All Dogs Go to Heaven 2".
I always bring them a snack for their bedtime movie and tonight it was a Hershey bar. Lord how they love those.
Mal savored hers.. letting it melt slowly in her mouth, her eyes half closed as if she were experiencing paradise, Mikyla wolfed hers down so fast I don't know if she even tasted it. Joel's in his own crib so he didn't get chocolate.. he'd have never gone to sleep tonight.
Anyway.. Mikyla pops her head up and moved over here to give me a hug, her head on my back, "Mammy can I have another one?"
"No honey, you had one and you've not had your Zyrtek in 4 days, I'm afraid to give you more now.. one is enough."
She started crying. Real tears. On my back.
"Please Mammy, just one more."
I said, "Mik... if you get sick, it's going to make me really sad..so stop crying now and watch your movie."
She went back to her spot and is watching it, and Mallory slipped her half of her own candy bar, but.. Mikyla wouldn't take it. She doesn't want to get sick. These girls are something else.
