We must be doing something right...

Caitlin came into my room (just before the kids were supposed to be going to bed) and was crying. Since we were about to read some books for our bedtime ritual, I had no idea what was the matter. So, I said, "Cait-o, what happened?" She said that she hurt her ear on her dresser when she was putting her dirty clothes into her hamper. I felt sad for her, poor little sweet pea, and kissed her red little ear three times. I told her that her ear was in "shock" from the hurt as it was just sitting there, minding its own business when that mean old dresser banged into it. She asked what "shock" meant, and we discussed it briefly. I told her that it would feel better soon as the "shock" wore off. I then had to go throw Cody's clothes into his hamper (bath night) and told her to lay down on my pillow until I got back. Just as I got to Cody's room (seconds later), I heard Cody say, "CA-Tin, what's the matter?" I heard Caitlin tell him how she hurt her ear, then heard the sound of a lip smacking kiss. Then, little Cait-o came over to me and said that Cody kissed her ear to make it "all better." Doesn't it just figure that these sweet little moments are so hard to capture on camera or video or something? (I tried to get Cody to re-enact the kissing of the ear, but he wasn't buying it, sadly.) I figure, at least he cares about his sister and it shows. (Caitlin is MOST protective and caring of Cody as well soooo...) we must be doing something right!
