Medicine

Tonight as we rocked and tucked the girls in Madison said she needed medicine to make her legs stop hurting. We told her sleep would probably make them feel better.
After Madison said her prayers, rocked with Mommy (a special time we hope is not soon outgrown) and snuggled into bed, Daddy began rocking Kennedy and Mommy started to leave the room.
Madison called out softly, 'Snuggle, Mommy?'
I turned right around and curled up next to Madison.
She nestled into me and said, 'Mommy, my legs feel better. You are the medicine I needed to make my legs stop hurting'
I melted- right there into her bed.
Moments like that make all the daily madness of two strong willed little girls disappear.
